I have uploaded several photos to show the condition of the castle and the beauty of the location. It was a lovely summer day and there were many ducks and other birds around the castle. It would've been beautiful in it's day but what remains is big, but not well kept. You get a good view by walking around the outside and over the moat. If you have a tourist map you will notice there are castles everywhere, and some have barely enough left to know there was any building of significance. Most of this castle still stands and there is plenty to do for an outing but if you want to feel the real castle experience, and don't have time for both, go to Cardiff Castle.
Cardiff has many attractions to offer, such as Cardiff Castle, the National Museum Cardiff, Techniquest and Castell Coch as well as this Caerphilly Castle.
