About Caerphilly 2035

Caerphilly is a town with potential.

With the largest Castle in Wales offering a world class heritage experience that already attracts day visitors from far and wide, this regeneration masterplan will seek to transform the town into a diverse and thriving town centre that people return to time and time again.

From Ffos Caerffili – the new market opening early 2024 – and the regeneration of Pentrebane Street, to an 80-bed hotel which will provide much needed, high-quality accommodation, the wide-ranging plans are ambitious and will bring transformative change to the town.

Caerphilly, a better place to live, work and visit.

Proposed projects throughout the town centre:

Caerphilly Town in 2035 will be…

1. A RENOWNED TOURISM DESTINATION

…. that fully exploits the presence of Caerphilly Castle to provide a unique visitor experience that people want to revisit.

2. A CONNECTED TOWN
