Caerphilly Castle - heritage

Caerphilly Castle, built in the 13th century, is one of Wales’ grandest medieval fortresses. Surrounded by man‑made lakes for defense, it helped introduce concentric castle design to Britain and saw clashes between Norman lords and Welsh rulers. Covering 30 acres, it remains Wales’ largest stronghold. Legend tells of a giant cat roaming its grounds, and today visitors enjoy interactive exhibits in its restored spaces.
