Plans have been granted to transform Caerphilly Castle to see it become a major tourist attraction. Planning permission has been granted for the enhancement works at Wales’ largest castle.
Details of the plans were first revealed in June 2021 and include works to the inner east gatehouse, encompassing a new roof and windows; refurbishment of the great hall and the earl’s apartments; improved access across the monument; bridge improvements; and new exhibitions telling the stories of the castle.
Around £1m will be spent on interactive exhibits featuring digital and audio-visual media, detailing the power struggles, betrayals, intrigues and liaisons of the people who built the castle, who fought over it, and lived in it through the ages.
