Things to Do in Caerphilly

Caerphilly Castle dominates the county's list of days out, its moat and leaning tower giving Caerphilly town a genuine landmark worth building a visit around. Beyond the castle, the borough splits fairly neatly between indoor entertainment and outdoor space, so a wet afternoon or a sunny one both have obvious answers.

For fresh air, Cwmcarn Forest and Pen-y-fan Pond offer walking, cycling and water views away from the main roads, while Smugglers Riding School suits those wanting a more active outing. Families chasing indoor fun have options too, from the play at Rascals Club House and Funtastic Caerphilly to escape rooms at Escape Blackwood and an evening at Wonder Outdoor Cinema. Pencoed Organic Farm rounds things out for a slower, countryside pace, and Tenpin Cardiff sits handy for anyone extending the day towards the capital.
