Concentrically planned, walls within walls, the rings of stone and Water defences are formidable even today. Famous for its 'leaning tower' the tower that out leans that of Tower of Pisa.
The listing coordinates were taken at the official start of the Caerphilly Castle History Trail, near the car park & Visit Caerphilly, Tourist Info Center.
"A 'Trail' around Caerphilly Castle helps visitors 'step back in time' as they stroll through the grounds of one of Europe's finest historic buildings. The route of the trail is marked with eight special markers, which depict various fascinating historical facts relating to the castle.
The idea of the trail is to allow people of all ages to find out more about the important history and heritage of the area. Children will be fascinated by the different designs on the markers, which are one meter in diameter, circular in shape and made of cast iron.
Pupils from Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Caerffili, Plasyfelin Junior School, Ysgol Y Castell and Twyn Primary have worked with the Artist Michael Johnson to come up with the attractive designs." Text Source: (
