An expert-led tour will walk you through a history that spans 2000 years at Cardiff Castle, commissioned by William the Conqueror, once slept in by roman soldiers and with knights holding court, transformed by an architect and Marquess collaboration, into a Victorian fantasy with elaborate and grand interiors, nurtured and completed by the Bute family!
