The Welsh Castle Project
We aim to explore and document every castle within Wales!
Castles in Wales
The aim is to build a hub of information about the various castles we have in Wales. We don’t have all the answers – but we’ll do our best to find out.
Local Guides
Information about visiting different castles throughout Wales. Many castles in Wales are excellent days out for adventurers and families.
Welsh History
Castles are a vital part of Welsh History. Let’s explore the wider significance of castles and how they shaped the country that Wales is today.
