OUR VIEW ON CARDIFF CASTLE
The castle has around 2000 years of history and the old keep in the centre is surrounded by the more modern extensions that made it a family home for the Bute family. You get to see some of the lavishness of the insides of the castle and it’s well worth a visit. We did find the guide a little tedious, but the building is marvellous. The castle is next to Bute Park in the city centre, near to the Millennium Stadium.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CARDIFF CASTLE
The guided tour begins on the ramparts of the castle and continues into the corner tower. From there you see the rooms that were used by the Bute family as thier home some of which have more history than others. The library and the great hall are very impressive. Although we enjoyed our trip to the castle, we felt there were quite a few parts of it we didn’t see. There is a shop and cafe on the lower floor of the main castle building too.
