    Castell Caerffili / Caerphilly Castle

    One of the largest fortresses of the classic Middle Ages era in Great Britain. Kairfilli is not the most famous British castle, largely because for a long time it stood abandoned. At the same time, Cairphilly is very well-preserved, and its size is astounding.
    But it is also interesting that the real history of the castle was very short, almost immediately after construction, it ceased to be necessary and did not really take part in any hostilities.
    The administration of the castle is very loyal to tourists. Dogs are allowed to pass, picnics can be arranged. There are regular services for tourists: there you can take an audio guide.

    Currently, the castle of Coch is in the guardianship of CADW, the organization for the protection of historical monuments of Wales.
