The Visitor's Centre is opposite the castle and just next to the statue of Tommy Cooper (the famous prop-comedian). It's the source for everything there is to know about visiting Caerphilly and the attractions in the area. They can also help with finding accommodations and non-biased advice on places to visit in the area. Gift shop has a selection of Welsh and Caerphilly items, ranging from t-shirts and pens to postcards and local honey and other crafts from the area. And a coffee machine! Great latte, thanks! Once you get past the Welsh accent, it's perfect! read more

If you get off the train at Caerphilly, visit the castle and wonder what else there is to do around that area then pop over the road to the visitors centre. It's an attractive circular looking building with bundles of leaflets that will keep you occupied till you collect your pension. There is also a gift shop within this tourist information centre should you wish to buy anything Welsh and why not? They stock amongst other things Penderyn Whisky which is building up quite a reputation amongst those in the know around the globe. Apparently a top chef in a well known restaurant in New York refuses to stock any other Whisky and imports Penderyn by the case load - surely that's worth a visit alone (to the visitor centre not New York although that's also a good excuse to go to the big apple too). read more

This is really about Caerphilly town in general. Near to where it's Castle lives, lie's a busy town centre in a small area within Wales that is twenty minutes to half an hour from Cardiff, roughly, and it is very pretty. There are many places to eat and to chill out with friends and family. There is a visitor centre opposite Caerphilly Castle. I recommend it to all as a great day out or two; visit the castle and or the town shopping area. The castle is the best place to visit for kids, but it is great for all of the public really. The parents will prefer the shops if they like shopping and can afford to do so. It is the ideal country side area for perfect walks and for relaxing and romantic breaks. Caerphilly is such a pretty place to live in and to visit. The churches are beautiful and quaint too... This is a must visit place in Wales, to gather the beauty and elegance of Welsh life. read more

Situated opposite the Castle on the edge of the pay and display carpark this is a tourist information centre and gift shop rolled into one. In terms of information there is just lots of it availabe for free, not just about Caerphilly but also the whole of Wales. I have lived in Wales all of my life and have spent a fair it of time treking around but I still came out of the centre armed with literature for places I have yet to visit. The staff in the centre are friendly and helpful and there is space to sit down and take a look at the information on offer. The gift shop was full of gifts, some very touristy but also some very tasteful items. I spotted dragons, Welsh meercats and alarm clocks in the touristy section and some gorgeous jewellery, and prints/pictures. They had a good stock of various bottles of the Welsh whisky Penderyn as well as a selection of Welsh beers and cheeses. Cards were in abundance both in Welsh and English as well as a selection of English/Welsh Language books about Wales its history, culture etc. read more
