Scolton Manor

Scolton Manor is one of Pembrokeshire’s finest Victorian country houses, offering visitors a fascinating journey into the lives of the wealthy families who once shaped local society. Built in the 19th century as the home of the Higgon family, the beautifully restored manor now serves as a museum where history, culture, and nature come together in a peaceful parkland setting. Inside the manor, visitors can explore a series of carefully recreated period rooms that reveal how a prosperous Victorian household functioned. Elegant drawing rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, and domestic spaces are furnished with antiques and decorative objects that help bring the era to life. Displays throughout the house tell stories of both the family and the servants whose work kept the estate running smoothly, offering an insight into the social contrasts of Victorian Britain. One of the most interesting features of Scolton Manor is its collection of local heritage exhibits. These displays explore the history of Pembrokeshire, showcasing traditional crafts, rural life, and community history. Temporary exhibitions are also regularly hosted, ensuring there is often something new to discover alongside the permanent collections.
