Trivia
What side of the castle is surrounded by a moat that used to supply water to a mill?
You are correct.
Well done!
Hmmm... that's not right.
Did you know?
The body of water along the western edge of Cardiff Castle is known as the Mill Leat.
A ‘leat’ is the name for a man-made stream that is created to direct water supply to a mill.
For several hundreds of years mills occupied the area south of Cardiff’s West Gate and over the years periodically fell into disrepair.
In the mid-19th century the Dock Feeder Canal was constructed and a dam was installed to divert the course of the water north of Cardiff Castle and on to the docks.
