This is the fairytale castle on the outskirts of Cardiff, S. Wales. It was owned by the richest man in the world, who stayed there only a few days a year.

The interiors are very pretty, and are in the same style as Cardiff Castle

The name comes from the fact that it was origionally built of local red stone, but was destroyed by a welsh uprising. It was rebuilt by The Bute family, but is apparently close to the origional.
