Parish in Cardiff, Wales

The Castle community sits at the heart of Cardiff, centred on the Norman motte-and-bailey that grew into Cardiff Castle and the adjoining green of Bute Park. It combines medieval and Victorian remnants with contemporary civic architecture, forming the compact historic core around which the city expanded.

As Cardiff’s commercial and cultural hub, Castle contains principal shopping streets like Queen Street, the St David's retail complex, main transport links at Cardiff Central and arts institutions such as the National Museum Cardiff and St David's Hall. That mix of tourism, retail, offices and urban living gives the area a busy, cosmopolitan character by day and an active nightlife scene after hours.
