I attended a family wedding in castell coch recently, so got the benefit of seeing the castle without paying the admission fee :-). If i had paid i would have been quite disappointed. Its exterior and surroundings are beautiful but inside the castle is minimal. There is nothing there worth seeing and would only take you about 20-30 minutes to... more

This castle is truly fairytale with beautifully decorated rooms. If you can't manage the steps there is a computer presentation which shows the upstairs room. Definitely worth a detour and excellent value for money. more

Pronounced Cor or Cork I have visited many castles around the world, from Disney to ancient to Neuschwanstein, which until now was my favourite. Now I have a new favourite, Castell Coch. It reminds me of Chateau Chillon, which is partly on the lake in Switzerland... How many times I have travelled along the M4 and never saw the Castell,... more

Castell Coch stands, tantalisingly, just north of the M4 on the journey around the outskirts of Cardiff. It seemed so incongruous for there to be a Bavarian-style castle in South-Wales. So much so that I was determined to take a closer look next time we were in the area. I was not disappointed! The castle was re-built on the site... more

Spent an hour and fifteen mins looking over this charming fairytale castle which has been well preserved. Delightful rooms furnished with furniture of the time. The wall coverings are beautiful and well worth a stop. Has a small shop and tea rooms. Delightful. more

I am a native South Walian and have known Castell Coch, inside and out, from early childhood on. In fact, at the age of 9, I fell from the drawbridge and injured myself quite severely - but I still love the place! It is a fairytale castle perched on a hillside and beckons you to visit. How can you possibly... more

Driving up to the Castle was magical, we had a wonderful time wandering around the various rooms and trying to take in the minute details of the paint work and carving around doors etc. The staff were very friendly too. The garden was so quiet and misterious we loved our visit. Fran more

とても可愛らしいお城で、 カーディフ城とは全く異なった魅力があります。 お城は、あまり大きくはないのですが、 ... more
