Caerphilly, Medieval market town in South Wales, United Kingdom.
Caerphilly is a town in south Wales, positioned roughly seven miles north of Cardiff. The settlement spreads over valley floors and rising ground, bringing together housing estates, shopping streets, and open green areas.
Norman nobleman Gilbert de Clare built a fortress here during the thirteenth century to control Welsh territories. The castle endured several sieges and damage over the centuries yet remained a central point for the surrounding region.
The annual Caerphilly Food Festival brings together local producers, vendors, and visitors to celebrate regional culinary traditions and Welsh gastronomy.
The railway station offers regular connections to Cardiff and nearby towns, making arrival straightforward for visitors. Buses also run through the main streets, linking different parts of the settlement together.
Caerphilly County Borough Council operates from Penallta House in Tredomen Park, managing 30 electoral wards since its establishment in 1996.
