Wherever you travel in Wales there’s a castle to remind you of the country’s rich history.
If you’re heading out of Cardiff on the M4 motorway, look out for Castell Coch rising out of the trees. Stop for a visit and you’ll be charmed by this beautifully turreted example of Victorian eccentricity. Wonderfully over-the-top, it’s fit for a princess.
Further afield is Caerphilly Castle, Wales’ largest and one of the greatest surviving castles of the medieval Western world. With its massive gatehouse and moat, its sheer scale is worth the visit.
