1. Caerphilly Castle

Caerphilly Castle is the dominant feature in this suburb, located around seven miles north of Cardiff City Centre. This impressive fortress, whose 30 acres are surrounded by a moat, was built in 1268 by Lord Gilbert de Clare. Aside from Caerphilly's enormity, the castle's most noticeable feature is its leaning tower, which allegedly rests at an even steeper angle than the famous one in Pisa. There are regular events in summer, including theatre performances.   (© 10Best)
