Castle Coch

Castle Coch

Posted by Philip (South Wales, United Kingdom) on 29 April 2012 in Landscape & Rural.

Castel Coch is known as a romantic gothic folly reproducing a small medieval Welsh chieftain's stronghold, built in the 1870s, for the 3rd Marquess of Bute. It was built upon the remains of a genuine 13th century castle.

Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome.
