Caerphilly Castle

The second biggest castle in Britain (after Windsor), it was built in the late 13th century to secure the area against Welsh attacks from the north. The castle is one of the greatest examples of medieval military architecture displaying an enormous array of defensive structures such as high towers, large moats and barbicans. It is located 15 minutes by train from Cardiff.

Do & See

There is much to do and see in Cardiff and the city's relatively small size makes it very easy to walk around and enjoy its various landmarks. You can stroll along Cardiff Bay, relax under the trees in Bute Park or discover the city's history in Cardiff Castle, and that's only a taste of what Cardiff has to offer.
