Caerphilly Castle - Places To See In Wales, Episode1
We visit the largest castle in Wales in the first episode of our new series “Places To See In Wales” We’ll be taking a look at some famous and not so famous places around our home country of Wales.
Caerphilly Castle is a is medieval castle just north of Cardiff in South Wales. It was built in the 13th century by Gilbert de Clare. It was used as a base to conquer Glamorganshire and there was extensive fighting between Gilbert and the Welsh.
The castle is in the centre of the town and there are great views around the area. It costs £8.50 (Dec 18) to enter the castle and it’s big enough to spend a couple of hours there. #VisitWales
One of the most striking things about the castle is the leaning south east tower. It leans at 10 degrees, there is some debate as to whether the damage was caused during the English Civil War or as a result of subsidence when the castle fell into disrepair.
Caerphilly Castle has been used as a location for many TV and film productions including many episodes of Dr Who, Wolf Hall and Restoration with Robert Downey Jr.

Places to see in ( Cowbridge - UK )
Places to see in ( Cowbridge - UK )
Cowbridge is a market town in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, approximately 7 miles west of Cardiff. Cowbridge is twinned with Clisson in the Loire-Atlantique department in northwestern France. Cowbridge is part of the Cowbridge with Llanblethian community (civil parish) which elects a Town Council.
On 13 March 1254, Cowbridge received its first borough charter from Richard de Clare, the Lord of Glamorgan. Richard de Clare was one of the most powerful Barons of the day, having huge estates stretching across much of South Wales and also lands in southern and eastern England. The town walls were built following this, sometime in the latter half of the 13th century.
The present Cowbridge Town Hall, a building whose foundations date back perhaps as far as the Elizabethan era, served as a prison until 1830, when it was converted into a town hall to replace the former Guild Hall, demolished at that date. The New Palladian Town Hall was built in 1830 by Isaiah Verity of Ash Hall who in gratitude was made a Freeman of Cowbridge. The money for the reconstruction was raised by public subscription.
Eight of the original prison cells are still intact, six of which house the exhibits of Cowbridge Museum. The remainder of the building is used by the town council and for public events. The museum holds archaeological finds from Cowbridge and district, as well as displays on the later history of the town, including industrial and domestic artefacts, a photographic collection, and a small historical costume collection.
Cowbridge contains the following inns: the Bear Hotel, the Horse and Groom, the Edmondes Arms, the Duke of Wellington and the Vale of Glamorgan. The latter is located at the premises of the former Vale of Glamorgan Brewery. Closely attached to the town of Cowbridge is the village of Aberthin. Aberthin contains two inns; The Hare and Hounds and The Farmers Arms. Cowbridge once had a railway station, which opened in 1865 and closed in 1951.
Cowbridge is also home to the Cowbridge Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS), based at the Market Theatre. CADS was formed in 1947 and aims to stage three main productions each year. The Society also publishes a newsletter, The Thespian, three or four times each year. Until 1997, when it 'outgrew' the Town Hall stage, Cowbridge was also home to the Cowbridge Amateur Operatic Society (CAOS).

Coity Castle, A Welsh Castle NOT To Be Missed - Places To See In Wales, Episode 5
The romantic ruins of Coity Castle near Bridgend, South Wales. It’s part 5 of our places to see in Wales series.
In the series, we look at some famous and not so famous places around our home country of Wales.
Coity Castle near Bridgend, South Wales is a Norman castle built in the 12th century by Sir Payn the Demon de Turberville, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan.
Major rebuilding took place in the 14th century and again in the 15th after Owain Glyndŵr laid siege to the castle during his uprising against English rule. Further changes were made to the castle in the early 16th century, including the addition of a third floor.

----- Short History -----
- The first castle was a Norman ringwork in the late 11th century.
- William 1st rewarded many lands to the Marcher Lords after the Norman Conquest of 1066.
- Robert FitzHamon distributed the lands of Glamorgan amongst his men.
- Sir Payn was forced to acquire lands by himself though.
- Payn married Sybil, the daughter of Morgan Gam, the welsh leader and became the Lord of Coity (possible story).
- Payn de Turberville became Lord of Coity in the beginning of the 12th century.
- Coity, Newcastle and Ogmore castles joined to defend the Lordship of Glamorgan along the western border.
- From 1180 the castle was refortified with stone.
- In 1384, Sir Lawrence Berkerolles inherited the castle and added many alterations such as the east gate, a new stone curtain and a four story round latrine.
- In the 15th century Coity defended against a siege from Owain Glyndwr.
- Gilbert Denys and William Gamedge illegally besieged it and they were later thrown in the Tower of London.
- But after 1411 the castle passed to the Gamage family.
- During the 16th century the castle underwent a complete remodelling including a storey and chimney stacks.
- In 1585 Barbara Gamage married Sir Robert Syndey and moved, leaving the castle to decay.
- It was abandoned around the 17th century.
- Eventually the Coity lordship passed to the Earls of Dunraven.

Castell Coch, The Fairy Tale Castle Near Cardiff - Places To See In Wales Ep 4
Castell Coch (The Red Castle) is a fairy tale, gothic revival castle that is not as old as it looks. Just 6 miles north of Cardiff and visible as you past J32 of the M4 is a 19th century castle designed by William Burges for the 3rd Marquess of Bute.
The Marquess was one of the richest men in Britain during the 1800’s.
The castle sits on ruins of a Norman Castle but the current castle was built between 1875 and 1879. Once completed, the castle wasn’t really used and the Marquess rarely visited.
The castle is now governed by CADW, an agency of the Welsh Government. It is open all year, from 9.30 to 5pm during the summer months, slightly shorter hours in the winter. At the time of visiting the entry price is £7.30 for an adult with discounts for OAP’s and there are family tickets available.
As with other CADW properties and castles, drones are not allowed.

Newcastle Castle in Bridgend is a small and cozy 12th century structure that has changed little since then. Part of the Coity, Newcastle and Ogmore trio of castles built to defend the western front it now stands looking over Bridgend.
Filmed: July 2020
Music: Vindsvept, fantasy music -
----- Short History -----
- In the early 11th century, William II encouraged Robert Fitzhamon, Baron of Gloucester to attack the Welsh Kingdom of Morgannwg in South Wales.
- Newcastle Castle was initially constructed as a ringwork in 1106 by William de Londres, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan.
- William de Londres was a knight loyal to the Norman baron Robert Fitzhamon.
- Its defences were strengthened in the late 12th century.
- These included a 2m thick curtain wall.
- A welsh uprising is thought to have inspired the increase in local defences.
- It is noted for its exceptional stonework, including the Norman doorway.
- It remained in Royal ownership until the death of Henry II in 1189.
- Prince John then acquired it but handed it over to Morgan ap Caradog to strengthen welsh relations.
- In the early 12th century the castle changed hands multiple times.
- Tudor upgrades were added in the 16th century.
- In 1718 it was purchased by Samuel Edwin of Llanmihangel Place but later became part of the Dunraven estate.

Castles Everywhere - BRIDGEND To Ogmore Castle, Walking With ‘The Normans’ In Wales
Bridgend South Wales - Yes, another castle in Wales. This time I start my walk at Newcastle overlooking the River Ogmore and Bridgend town centre and walk along the river to Ogmore Castle.
Newcastle Castle was built in the 12th century as the River Ogmore was the border between the invading Normans and the Welsh to the West.
From the castle, I walk down Newcastle Hill to the River Ogmore and follow it through Bridgend. South towards the New Inn Bridge which is better known as the Dipping Bridge.
Then it’s across the fields past the ancient settlement of Verville to Ogmore Castle.
Ogmore (along with Coity and Newcastle) was part of a trio of castles built to guard Glamorgan.
All these castles are managed by CADW and are free to enter. Check their website for the latest opening times.

Discover the Secrets of New Castle Bridgend
A castle built to last
Along with its neighbours at Coity and Ogmore, Newcastle Castle guarded the important river crossings which once controlled access into Glamorgan when much of this part of the country was under native Welsh control.
The original castle here was most likely a less sophisticated earthwork, with the remains standing today dating from a later building period of renovation in the 1180s. At that point, the castle was held by Henry II, and this royal connection probably explains why it is so well constructed.
Evidence of the castle’s superior build quality can be seen in its striking Norman doorway, perfectly preserved after lying almost untouched since the 12th century.#bridgend #castlevlog
