These are just some of the best castles wales have. Many of these are only visited by a few people and some of them have hundreds of visitors a year. Why not take a trip to Wales and have a look at these castles!
Cardiff Castle
The castle itself as many people will know is right in the middle of a very big city and it was first used by the Romans. When the Normans took control they covered the original fort with earthen ramparts and made their own defences. The great thing is that over the next three centuries the castle was never stopped when it came to improvements. Many things happened during the 12th century including a stone keep and 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 built on a limestone ridge overlooking the river Wye. Chepstow it would seem was a quiet castle for its time, rarely seeing 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 long battles in the 1690′s the castles defences were taken down and the castle was eventually handed to the state in 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. Family holidays UK 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.
