Explore Caerphilly
Known for
The Castle (the largest in Wales, second largest in Britain), Caerphilly cheese, the Big Cheese Festival, and a South Wales market town dominated by its extraordinary fortress
A little history
Caerphilly Castle, begun in 1268, was the first truly concentric castle in Britain. The town grew in its shadow, and the castle still dominates every view.
The castle is magnificent — the leaning tower leans more than Pisa's. The Big Cheese Festival in July is excellent.
