Castell Coch, which is really a fancy summer house built by a Victorian millionaire for parties, though it was built over the ruins of a medieval castle (I believe)

Random inset day yesterday, so we took the kids to see some #castles. I may be mistaken, but I think I read that wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 has the most castles per capita in the world, which is the most important per capita stat there is, right? (and says a lot about our history) #castellcoch and #caerphillycastle

King of the Castle 🏰
Great views from the top of Caerphilly Castle, one of the largest and outstanding castles in Wales

A great castle and well worth the visit.

A large, partly ruined castle sits at on the opposite side of an expanse of calm water and below a pale blue, thinly clouded sky

Considering there's an almighty battle going on between Plaid Cymru and Reform in #Caerphilly, everything seemed very quiet and calm yesterday with #CaerphillyCastle looking very majestic
