They arnt the grandest around Roath Park either but i think they would be big enough
 Here is Castell Coch (Welsh for Red Castle, derived from the red stone used to build it). It was origionally a watch tower halfway between the castles in Caerphilly and Cardiff, destroyed by an uprising and rebuilt as a fairytale hunting lodge for the Marquis of Bute (absolutely stunning inside but unfortunately i was here for the forest walk not the castle). image hosted on flickr  _MG_0003 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  _MG_0011 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  _MG_0013 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr Views towards the city (shows how green the city is) image hosted on flickr  _MG_0018 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr The topography image hosted on flickr  _MG_0019 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  IMG_0009 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr

To say Wales is hilly would be an understatement Porto
, the only flat parts are around the coast, and even then its not that flat. Luckilly Cardiff is almost completely flat (until you reach the north and west of the cityThanks Conor i quite like Cardiffs skyline from that vantage point also, just needs a few talls to bulk out the midrises

Great pictures of Castell Coch there - such a cute and lovely castle! I really like the HSBC building in the last two pictures too.

It is quite fairytale, imagine it without the pointy roofs and you probably have something more historical though. I love the view of it as you travel up the main road out fo Cardiff to the Valleys, its quite imposing.

 I'm quite fond of those offices in the last picture, reminds me of Barcelona for a reason.

Thanks
Caerphilly is a comuter town to the north of Cardiff, seperated by a mountain and is the point where a few valleys converge. At the center of this convergance is the castle, which is the second biggest in Europe, famous for its tower which leans further than Pisas' and the town is known for it cheese. Here is the "Big Cheese" festival, marked last night by fireworks. image hosted on flickr  P7299331 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299339 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299340 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299347 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299348 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299360 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299362 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr image hosted on flickr  P7299363 by stephenanstiss, on Flickr

Thanks,
It was dring the civil war Portonuts, they were worried the castle would be fortified so decided to try and blow up the towers, only to discover they couldn't! There were a few Americans next to us, (and with the obligatory Harry Potter music) they said "I cant believe we are watching fireworks from a castle with harry Potter playing", i suppose we take these things for granted, especially in Wales as we have the most castles per square mile in the World.
