Given that Wales is crammed full of medieval castles, it would seem that the last thing anyone would want to build is a mock castle. But that is exactly what the Crawshay family of local Ironmasters built in 1824, as a showpiece to for their wealth and prosperity. Cyfarthfa Castle is a castlellated manor set in large parklands- the perfect residence for wealthy mine owners who once provided the main source of employment for many of the families in 19th century Merthyr.
