RE: Monomad - Caerphilly Castle - By Steve J Huggett
What a beautiful shot! I don't imagine you're allowed to explore inside the castle. It's an amazing artifact.

Thanks @goat-girlz Yep, it's fully open with only a few places you can't go because it's not safe. This one's has a lot of renovation work done over the last couple hundred years :)
Wow! You should go take pictures inside and post them! That's so cool! Over here our version of old architecture is the 1970's ranch house everyone winces at while driving by.

Wow, 1970's ranch house lol I have got images from inside, but just haven't got around to editing as yet, but I will do a post.
We have some really old places around here, Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber dates back to 3500BC and with some 400 castles in Wales there is a lot to go an see(a lot of them are just piles of stone or mounds). But all very interesting :)
Haha! I was kidding about the ranch house. My house was built in 1900 and that's pretty old for the west coast. I would love to see some really old places, though. The burial chamber must be Roman?

I think this burial chamber would have been created by the ancient Brittians. The Romans didn't go that far into Wales, think they had enough to deal with and left these pesky celts alone :))
Hahahaha! That makes sense. I wouldn't mess with the Celts either!

This is Pentre Ifan, well me sitting under its cap stone :)
Wow! That's amazing! I can imagine the Roman legions taking one look and muttering something about having to wash their hair this weekend.
