Caerphilly Castle

Caerphilly Castle is one of the largest and most impressive medieval fortresses in Britain, surrounded by vast water defences and dramatic stone walls. Built in the thirteenth century by Gilbert de Clare, the castle played a key role in conflicts between the Normans and Welsh princes, and remains an outstanding example of military architecture.

Visitors can explore towering gatehouses, walk along battlements and discover the famous leaning tower, often compared to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. With wide open grounds, scenic views and fascinating history at every turn, Caerphilly Castle offers a memorable experience for families, history enthusiasts and visitors to South Wales.
