Sweets in Caerphilly: Second-Largest Castle, Leaning Tower

Caerphilly's castle is the largest in Wales and the second-largest in Britain after Windsor — and one of its towers leans at a steeper angle than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

A castle built in a hurry, surrounded by lakes

Gilbert de Clare began work on Caerphilly Castle in 1268 to secure his hold on Glamorgan, and most of the construction was done over the following few years. It sits inside extensive artificial lakes and is famous for bringing concentric castle defences to Britain.

A tower that never quite recovered

The castle's south-east tower leans at more than 10 degrees, the result of subsidence and the damage of the English Civil War. Today the castle is looked after by Cadw and is the picture most people have in mind when they think of the town.

Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else

Caerphilly's fame rests on its castle, not on confectionery — so pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases for the town come by delivery, the same as the rest of Wales and the UK.
