Wales has more fairytale castles than it has fairies to occupy them! From coastal ruins to restored splendour, we have so many to choose from.

Close to us is Caerphilly Castle, a 20 minute drive away. Followed by the wonderful Castell Coch (Red Castle), just some 22 minutes along the A470.

Caerphilly Castle

The fortress sprawls over a huge area making it the largest castle in Wales.


Like the famous cheese, the castle has long been synonymous with Caerphilly. It dominates. Hogs the limelight. Think slumbering giant awaiting a call to arms. It’s also a great backdrop for TV and film. It secured a starring role recently in the popular BBC TV series Merlin.

Castell Coch

The beautiful fabled home of a very wealthy man.


While resting on ancient foundations, Castell Coch (Red Castle) is relatively modern, the by-product of a vivid Victorian imagination, assisted by untold wealth. The Middle Ages fascinated the Victorians as much as the Victorians fascinate us today. High Gothic was the order of the day.

Cardiff Castle

A Roman Garrison, A Norman Stronghold, A Gothic Fantasy ... and Wartime Tunnels during the Second World War.


Discover 2000 years of history in the heart of the city. From the arrival of the Romans, through the Norman Conquest to lavish Victorian design − all have left their distinctive mark on the Castle.


Raglan Castle

A stunning statement of wealth and power.


Everything’s great about this place, from its great tower, which evokes memories of earlier fortresses like Caernarfon, to the great gatehouse, which ‘wows’ the visitor just as its owner intended. If, as they say, an Englishman’s home is his castle, then William Herbert’s Raglan is the Welshman’s equivalent.
