With towers to explore, a dragon\u2019s den and the grandness of The Great Hall to discover; Caerphilly Castle offers the perfect playground for budding historians.<\/p>\n<p>This medieval fortress was built mainly between 1268 and 1271 by Gilbert de Clare. Known as Gilbert &#8216;The Red&#8217; because of his red hair, denoting his Norman heritage, he built the castle to take control of Glamorgan and to prevent the Welsh Prince Llewellyn ap Gruffudd from achieving his southward ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>The design of the castle is based on a concentric ring of walls, something not seen in Britain before. It also has an extensive ring of water defences and huge gatehouses. This mammoth stronghold remains a striking testament to the Anglo-Norman domination of the area.<\/p>\n<h3>Pisa&#8217;s got nothing on us&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Though the focus of many Welsh attacks, Caerphilly Castle has remained a formidable fortress and perhaps one of the greatest strongholds of all-time. Even the efforts of Oliver Cromwell&#8217;s roundheads failed to break the Castle&#8217;s boundaries, though they did leave a rather remarkable scar &#8211; the famous leaning tower, which has leaned 3m out of the perpendicular since 1648.<\/p>\n<p>Like the famous cheese, the castle has long been synonymous with Caerphilly. It dominates. Hogs the limelight. Think slumbering giant awaiting a call to arms. It\u2019s also a great backdrop for TV and film.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n\t<section id=\"\" class=\"block gallery-block\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-block-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Caerphilly-Castle-at-dusk-2017-scaled.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Caerphilly-Castle-at-dusk-2017-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Caerphilly-Castle-Fireworks-2017-8mb.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Caerphilly-Castle-Fireworks-2017-8mb.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-196-scaled.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-196-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Castle-interior-visitor-centre-exterior-2014.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Castle-interior-visitor-centre-exterior-2014.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Caerphilly-Castle-front-large-e1529075845389.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Caerphilly-Castle-front-large-e1529075845389.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"Caerphilly Castle\nhistoric Sites - Castles\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-153-e1529075702622.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-153-e1529075702622.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-210-e1529075931895.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-210-e1529075931895.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-183-e1529075657960.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitcaerphilly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CBCC-183-e1529075657960.jpg\" alt=\"Caerphilly Castle\" title=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/maps.googleapis.com\/maps\/api\/js?key=AIzaSyCNYY6aenor9lbT84cYrEb5gzYo8p_fKiU\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/unpkg.com\/@googlemaps\/markerclusterer\/dist\/index.min.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/OverlappingMarkerSpiderfier\/1.0.3\/oms.min.js\"><\/script>\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function($) {\n\n    \/\/ Init all maps\n    $(document).ready(function() {\n\t\t$('.acf-map').each(function(i, el) {\n\t\t\tsetTimeout(() => {\n\t\t\t\tinitMap($(el));\n\t\t\t}, i * 200);
