Town Centre

Cardiff

This 13th-century island castle is a fun visit despite its dark and gloomy exterior.  The castle is important for having introduced concentric defences to Britain, as well as being a filming location for several episodes of Doctor Who.

Crooked tower
Striking to see this semi-restored castle smack bang in the middle of town.
The crooked tower. A giant wooden figure “holds” it up.
