Caerau Fort
Fascinating hilltop site on the edge of the Cardiff suburb of Ely/Caerau from which the Celtic tribe, the Silures - much-respected opponents of the Romans - ruled SE Wales. Much earlier origins date it back nearly 4000 years BC. Best visited outside winter as there is a possibly muddy climb through woodland to the top, from which its spectacular position commanding surrounding countryside can be seen. An onsite visitor centre offers explanatory panels and also serves as the hub for a range of very worthwhile community projects.

It's a field on top of a hill. From what we could see there isn't any evidence of the old hill top fort but there is a nice old derelict church tucked just below the top of the hill. Apparently they are going to excavate the fort and open a visitor centre which I imagine will be good, from the top of the hill you have a commanding view of Cardiff which is always nice. Be warned though the path up to the top is steep and when we went very boggy and muddy, there is a concrete path but this was covered with vegetation. I would highly recommend going, the dog loved it and is now snoring her head off!

Great place to walk the dog especially with someone who's been on an archaeological dig up there who can tell you all about it!

A place of great historical interest for those that are onto or want to get into history at different levels. In summer there are local groups that get together and do a dig of different sections of this ancient hillfort site it dates back a very long time to Neolithic times as I understand it.

I cycled here from Cathays - tell you what, the hill is steep if you're cycling. Bit of smashed glass at the bottom and it was hard to tell what the actual fort was, but the scenery was incredible from St Mary's Church. It's a great place to get back to nature and experience a bit more about the history of Cardiff.

Amazing to see this site of an old iron age hill fort. Unfortunately, over the years the church has fallen into ruin and graves damaged.

Serene, lightly haunting and picturesque at the same time. It's a shame the beautiful church has reduced to ruins. This place is supposed to be the oldest establishment of humans in the region.
