Upon our arrival at the bus stop, we can already get a magnificent view of the castle. In addition to its magnificence, the glorious weather also made it even more spectacular. This is the second castle, after Edinburgh Castle that I've visited. Although both castles, the difference in history and location makes each experience unique in itself.

搭乘巴士抵達站牌遠處即可看見卡菲利城堡壯觀的模樣。加上這天天氣晴朗，又顯的更加壯觀。這是續愛丁堡城堡（上篇、下篇）後，天仙參觀的第二座城堡。雖然說同樣是城堡，但是因為歷史背景、地理位置不同，參觀起來那種享受真的很不同。

Caephilly Castle is the largest castle in Wales, and second largest in Britain (the largest being Windsor). The whole castle was built over a four-year period (app. 1268-1271) that covers a land mass of 30 acres, making it one of the largest in the whole of Europe.

卡菲利城堡是威爾斯最大的城堡。全不列顛裡也算是第二大的，僅次於溫莎堡。整個城堡建造過程花了四年（1268-1271）。城堡面積約三十英畝。可以算是歐洲裡的大城堡。
