Caerphilly Castle, Glamorgan, Wales:
Pride of place goes at once to Caerphilly in Glamorgan, the fortress of the greatest subject of the Crown, the Clare Earl of Hertford and Gloucester. Perhaps the finest of the castles as it is the
largest in overall extent, Caerphilly added to its core of a powerful quadrangular concentric fortress a most extensive system of water defences, barbicans (an outer defense work of a city or
castle, especially towers over a gate or bridge) and outworks, and had one of the most elaborately defended approaches in all Britain.
Caerphilly has 2 main entrances, eked out by lessor or postern gates. The multiplication of the gateway gave the garrison greater freedom of movement and opportunity to launch sallies or
counter-attacks against their assailants, while the enemy was prevented from concentrating his strength at one chosen point by the necessity of closely investing the whole perimeter.
Caerphilly was one of the greatest new castles of that age. It was a grim and grandiose fortress. (English Medieval Castles, by R. Allen Brown, 1954)
