Overview

Take a self-guided GPS walk with local resident Suzie Rees and find out more about the fascinating history of the town surrounding the famous castle.

Starting at Coffi Vista on the Twyn, you'll walk the streets of Caerphilly while Suzie takes you back to the past. On the way, you'll meet kings and lovers, tyrants, comedians, musicians and one of the most eccentric people ever to live in this famous town. You'll visit the oldest building in Caerphilly, take a walk through glorious parkland and, if you feel like it, you can also stop to feed the geese and ducks who are always happy to say hello.

The final leg of your tour takes you in full view of the largest castle in Wales while telling you some of the stories and legends connected with it. The final stop takes you right up to the main entrance to the castle and the tour finishes with a story about the most remarkable Welshman in Victorian Britain.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
