SM 958265: Wolfscastle village is situated to the north of Treffgarne Gorge, a strategic spot through which the road, rail and river all pass, connecting north and south Pembrokeshire.
The castle which gives the village its name is a motte and bailey fortification dating from the 12th century, possibly constructed within a much earlier Iron Age fort.
There is a war memorial in the village churchyard at Ford.
