    Castell Coch is a 19th-century castle overlooking the village of Tongwynlais. Whilst there has been a castle on the site since the Norman period, architect William Burges transformed the crumbling medieval ruins into a Gothic masterpiece during the Victorian era, under the request of the third Marquess of Bute.

    Entry to the castle costs £7.70 for adults, £4.60 for children, £6.10 for seniors, and £21.60 for families. For more information, visit: cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/castell-coch.
