Cardiff Castle

Cardiff Castle is a landmark historic attraction in the heart of Cardiff city centre, spanning 2,000 years of history across Roman fortifications, a Norman Keep and lavishly decorated Victorian Gothic interiors. Ticketed entry gives access to the castle house, Norman Keep and wartime shelters; the Public Square outer green is free to enter year-round and is where dogs on leads are welcome to explore.

Dogs are not permitted inside the castle buildings or the Inner Green, where access is limited to assistance dogs. The castle is open seven days a week all year round, with longer hours in summer (9am–6pm, 1 March to 31 October) and shorter hours in winter (9am–5pm, November to February), closing only on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

There is no on-site parking, but several public car parks are available nearby in central Cardiff.
