Caerphilly Castle History & Tour / Largest Castle in Wales

Caerphilly Castle is considered one of the most remarkable mediaeval castles in western Europe.  Its exceptional features include its enormous size, the second-largest castle in Britain after Windsor, its innovative use of water for defence and being one of the first authentic concentric castles built in Britain.  Constructed in the late 13th century, the castle was a revolutionary masterpiece of military planning during its time.
