Cyfarthfa Castle

Built in 1824, Cyfarthfa Castle is an impressive monument to the Industrial Revolution. Once a Regency mansion, it now houses a magnificent museum and art gallery. The basement atmospherically recalls over 3,000 years of history in this important Welsh town, whilst the restored upper floors are a grand setting for the art displays and the eclectic collections from the ancient world. The castle is set in 160 acres of parkland containing formal gardens, sweeping lawns, a lake, children's play facilities, a model railway, pitch and putt, bicycle hire and much more. The castle and park are situated on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and make a great day out.
