There are no two castles the same in Wales. In South Wales, the nation’s largest is Castell Caerffili (Caerphilly Castle), commanding authority, with its vast moat and famous leaning tower. In the capital, Castell Caerdydd (Cardiff Castle) layers 2,000 years of history with lavish Victorian Gothic interiors. Castell Rhaglan (Raglan Castle) offers graceful Renaissance‑inspired ruins, while Castell Coch peeks from wooded hills above Caerdydd (Cardiff), its Gothic Revival towers hiding luxurious interiors. Further east, Castell Cas-gwent (Chepstow Castle) stretches along a limestone cliff above the River Wye, and has one of Europe’s oldest surviving castle doors.
