Caerphilly is a proud and historic town nestled in a wide valley just north of Cardiff. Best known for its dramatic castle and that famous cheese, it's got a solid mix of small-town charm and big heritage appeal. The town has a strong Welsh identity, with a lovely balance between green hills, modern shopping, and the kind of community spirit that makes you feel right at home. There's a calm to the place, but it's also got enough going on to keep things interesting, whether you're after history, scenery, or a good cuppa.

The town really took off in the 13th century, when Caerphilly Castle was built by Gilbert de Clare during turbulent times between the English crown and native Welsh princes. The castle remains the town's centrepiece—one of the biggest in Europe, with its moats, leaning tower and grand scale. As the centuries rolled on, Caerphilly grew slowly as a market town, then saw a burst of growth during the industrial period, especially with coal mining and the arrival of the railway. While the mines are long gone, the legacy still lingers in the landscape and the people. These days, Caerphilly has a population of just under 42,000 and plays a key role in the wider South Wales Valleys region.

The big-ticket attraction is Caerphilly Castle, and rightly so—it's a massive, brooding structure that dominates the town and draws in visitors year-round. Inside the castle grounds, there's plenty to explore, from battlements and towers to the famous ‘leaning' south-east tower. Just a short walk away is Caerphilly Mountain, with sweeping views over the town and the Bristol Channel beyond. In the town centre, you'll find a decent mix of shops, cafés, and places to grab a bite. There's also the Visit Caerphilly Centre, which doubles as a gallery and gift shop, and the town hosts a well-attended Big Cheese Festival each summer. For National Trust fans, Tredegar House over in Newport is a lovely day out, and the Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Walk gives ramblers a stunning way to explore the hills and scenery around the area.

Wider Gwent is full of character, with a great mix of old market towns, valleys, and riverside views. Monmouth, Usk and Abergavenny all offer their own flavour of Welsh charm, while the Wye Valley is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. Tintern Abbey is a particular standout—peaceful, atmospheric and steeped in history. Over in Chepstow, there's a brilliant castle overlooking the River Wye, and up in Blaenavon, the Big Pit National Coal Museum tells the story of the Welsh mining industry with proper grit. From rural peace to deep history, the whole region is packed with places that quietly impress.

Caerphilly is really well connected for a town its size. The A468 and A469 run through the area, with easy links to Cardiff and the wider South Wales road network. Caerphilly train station offers regular services to Cardiff Central, taking around 20 minutes, making it popular with commuters. There are also smaller stations at Energlyn & Churchill Park and Aber, which help serve the suburbs. Local bus routes run regularly between nearby towns and villages. For air travel, Cardiff Airport is about 40 minutes away by car, and there are plenty of connections from Cardiff city centre if you're relying on public transport. The town centre itself is nice and walkable, with everything fairly close together.

Gwent, as a historic county, might not exist on the admin map anymore, but it's still a name that means something around here. It covers a wide chunk of south-east Wales and brings together places like Newport, Cwmbran, Abergavenny and Monmouth, each with its own pace and story. The region has a deep industrial past, but there's also loads of green space, castles, and coastline. Whether you're after culture, countryside or just a strong sense of community, Gwent tends to deliver quietly, with no fuss.

We hope you found this Caerphilly tourist map useful for your visit to the area.
