Caerphilly Castle Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Castle in the city
How often will you see a huge ruinous castle in the middle of a town? Well in Caerphilly you can. The largest castle in Wales this really does dominate the area and looms in the background.
It's a beautiful walk, you can see the original walls from all angles and the grassy area and moat provides. There will be lots of ducks and geese around too. It's around a 20 minute circumference walk around the walls and it's very enjoyable
The ruins themselves are very impressive. Huge thick stone walls, windows with slots in, drawbridge, flags. This really gives an idea of what life would have been like here in the past.

This is one of the premier attractions in South Wales and we are lucky to have it

Dragons at Caerphilly Castle
Where: Caerphilly, Wales UK
When: July 2017
Wales is know for its historic castles and strongholds and while most are in ruins there is something magical about stepping on to the land where these majestic towers once stood. Some castles have more of the structures still standing than others but each still manages to tell a story of old (even if you have to use a little imagination to picture it).
Caerphilly Castle still has a number of walls still standing, some showing the various levels and floors that stood 3-4 stories high. And there are still plenty of turrets and chambers you can climb around which is what we did one glorious afternoon in July 2017.
This particular trip was made even more special by some visiting Welsh dragons Dewi & Dwynwen. At the time of our visit the Dragons were only in Caerphilly for a holiday but it appears that they have made the castle their personal lair. We very much enjoyed the tale of their love story on our visit and are glad to see they are still around. This is a perfect mix Fantasy and History and I can not wait to visit again.
