Caerphilly and its stern castle rest in the north of Cardiff at the entrance of the Rhymney Valley. While the county is more of a day trip stop on a road trip adventure, there is still much to see and do within the county. Start with a trip to the family-friendly Cwmcarn Forest. Formerly areas of heavy mining, the hills are now transformed into a haven for wildlife and brims with trees and foliage. Dust off your mountain bikes and hiking shoes and explore the hidden walking and cycling routes across the forest. If that sounds like too much physical activity, sit back and enjoy a lazy afternoon of fishing. Don’t forget to view the towering Caerphilly Castle. The formidable medieval fortress spreads out over thirty acres and is the largest castle in Wales. The region is famed for its crumbly, white cheese so make sure to buy some of this popular variety to nibble throughout your motorhome adventure in Wales. History buffs will enjoy discovering the history of Caerphilly County Borough at the Winding House. Enjoy local arts and entertainments at the Blackwood Miner’s Institute, or take a trip back to 1645 at Llancaiach Fawr Manor. If you want to use Caerphilly as a base to begin your Wales motorhome journey, speak to listing owners in Blackwood, Ystrad Mynach, Risca, Bargoed, Newbridge, and more! Savour breathtaking views across meadows, woods, and rivers in your Caerphilly motorhome hire.
