Castell Coch

TONGWYNLAIS, CF15 7JS

Write a review

Castell Coch is Welsh for 'red castle', an appropriate name for this fairy-tale building with its red sandstone walls and conical towers. The castle was originally built in the 13th century but fell into ruins, and the present castle is a late-19th-century creation. Inside, the castle is decorated in fantasy style.
