The true heart of Cardiff, Cardiff Castle is an iconic and easily recognisable landmark situated adjacent to the city centre.
One of Wales’ leading heritage attractions, the castle boasts 2,000 years of history. The original Roman fort was established around the end of the 50s AD, and had been in the hands of many a noble family until The Butes inherited the castle by marriage in 1766.
Fancy a tour? You can choose from multiple tours including a house tour, castle apartments, wartime shelters to film location tours.
