HISTORY & CULTURE
Narberth (Welsh: Arberth) was founded around a Welsh court, but later became a Norman stronghold on the Landsker Line. It became the headquarters of the hundred of Narberth and was once a marcher borough.
The town plays a high-profile role in Welsh mythology, where it is the chief palace of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, and a key setting in both the first and third branches of the Mabinogi. One of the most popular areas of Narberth's Museum for young families is the Mabinogion woodland glade. As well as explaining the story of the Mabinogion through interpretive panels it includes a storytelling chair where children can listen to Welsh folk stories in English and Welsh.
