Caerphilly Castle is reopening after two years of conservation and refurbishment, with a £8 million investment by Cadw. The castle now features a restored Great Hall that reflects its 14th-century grandeur and includes immersive digital exhibits for visitors. The project involved stonemasons and conservation specialists to repair various structural elements and enhance the historical experience. Accessibility improvements include new ramps and paths, making the site more welcoming to visitors. The overall aim is to modernize the facility while preserving its historical significance.
The restoration involved stonemasons, archaeologists, and conservation specialists, who not only revitalised the Great Hall but also restored the medieval water-gate passageway linking the hall to the southern lake.
Accessibility has been a central focus of the project. New ramps, paths, and even a wildflower garden ensure that more visitors can enjoy the site.
