Summary

Description
English: Caerphilly Castle The impressive ruins of Caerphilly Castle viewed across the partially drained South Lake. The castle is the largest in Wales and is unusual in that it was not built by a king but by an immensely powerful magnate, 'Red Gilbert' de Clare (1243-1295), Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, and Marcher lord of Glamorgan. Incredibly much of the building was completed between 1268-71 and therefore it predates the large castles of north Wales built for Edward I.
