Please Note:
Although marked as pushchair / wheelchair friendly, there are some steep paths that are encountered along the route of this Trail.
If you like castles then this Trail is for you! You do not need to pay to go in the castle to complete this Trail. Caerphilly Town is dominated by its historic 13th Century castle which has been described as one of the great medieval castles of western Europe and, at the time of its building, a revolutionary masterpiece of military planning. Its leaning south-east tower could compete with Pisa any day!
The Trail starts right in the centre of town and takes you around the south side of the castle, visiting Morgan Jones Park before returning to the castle grounds and the Daffydd Williams Park. It's quite short which leaves plenty of time for visiting the inside of the Castle if you want to.
Morgan Jones Park now has restricted opening times during the winter months: from February to October gates close at 5pm.
The castle holds events throughout the year, so we recommend checking this website here: What's On to make sure there's nothing on that may disrupt the Trail.
