This is Castell Coch, or the ‘Red Castle’, rises up from the ancient beech woods of Fforest Fawr like a vision from a fairy tale that you must make a visit.🤩🏰 🎞️ @huyenjamin____hailwood 📍Castell Coch is a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle built above the village of Tongwynlais in South Wales. The first castle on the site was built by the Normans after 1081 to protect the newly conquered town of Cardiff and control the route along the Taff Gorge.#castle #englishcountryside #cottagecore #cott

Castell Coch in Wales was originally built in the 11th Century. Some historians debate on whether there was an earlier fort built by Ifor Bach the Lord of Senghenydd. It is said his ghost haunts this castle. The castle you see today was rebuilt in the gothic style by John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute. Castell Coch means "Red Castle" in Welsh- for the color of the sandstone that the castle is made from. #castle #ghoststories #paranormal #wales #history | Evelyn Edwards
