These castles are some of the best Wales have to offer. Some of them are visited by thousands and some of them just a couple of hundred every year. Why not take a trip to Wales and have a look at these castles!
The Brilliant Cardiff Castle
The Romans were the first to use the castle and it can be found right in the middle of a very busy city. The Normas stepped in to take control and they covered the original fort with ramparts and their own defences. The great thing is that over the next three centuries the castle was never stopped when it came to improvements. The 12th century saw only one realy improvement and that was a stone keep whereas between the 13th and 14th a gatehouse and the black tower were both added. It would seem that the later centuries proved to be very hard on the castle and it was renovated in the 18th century to what people see it as today.
Chepstow Castle
This castle was in the making a year after the Battle Of Hastings and was actually built very close to the river Wye. it would seem that chepstow was a very quiet castle for its time as it very rarely saw a battle. It was modified a lot in the 12th and 13th centuries and the importance of it declined in the 14th century. After the big battles in 1690 the castles defences were taken down and the castle was handed in the state a long time in the future in the year 1953.
These are just two of the castles that Wales has to offer the general pubic which of course means that you can personally see the inside of both these buildings along with your family on one of those family days out. UK family holidays are very popular indeed in Wales and both of these castles see a lot of guests every year so do not miss out and visit Wales soon.
