Castle Coch is a 19th Century fairytale castle embodying a magnificent dream of the Middle Ages. Its round towers and turrets peep unexpectedly through the trees on the wooded hills north of Cardiff. It was created by the brilliant, eccentric architect William Burges for the third marquis of Bute, a fellow lover of medieval fantasy. The interior is lavishly decorated and furnished in the Victorian Gothic style. The castle offers a site exhibition, audio tour, parking, toilets, cafe, shop, and guidebook.
