Enjoy the earthy forest scents and the rustling leaves as you walk up to this beautiful site. Originally built by the Normans after 1081 to defend Cardiff and manage the Taff Gorge route, the current castle, constructed in the 1870s, showcases the imagination of its architect and the wealth of its client.
