- Cardiff Castle - Cardiff Castle started life as a Roman Fort, evidence of which is still visible today. Indeed the city of Cardiff gets its name from the old Roman fort, as Cardiff or the Welsh version Caerdydd translates into English as “Fort on the river Taff”. Developed by the Normans the castle has seen many changes and was once used as a royal prison. Developed further by various English marcher Lords, the castle fell into ruin in the 16th century. Taken over by the Marquis’ of Bute in the 17th Century, it wasn’t until the 3rd Marquis that the current version of Cardiff Castle came into being. Described as a victorian escapist dream, it is a stunning former stately home and Welsh national treasure.
Whilst here your guide will show you around the castle, including its most interesting historical features such as a million-pound ceiling, the Second World War Tunnels, and the Museum of Welsh Soldering. Finally, you will be able to climb the castle’s keep and see the stunning views of Cardiff.
