At the small pedestrian street opposite the castle entrance we bought some nice and cheap clothes from Cancer Research Wales(pic 1). It’s a typical store of its kind, we saw many in UK, they sell items in low prices, and all that because all the money go for Cancer research or to the Red Cross. Most of them are second hand (but usually in good condition) or just new items that people don’t want and donate them to these stores!
We also entered at Poundland Market(pic 2), not really important for a tourist but this low cost super market sells everything for £1. Which means you can have all your favorite candys, huge chips or chocolates, packets of 2 cola for just 1 pound. Not bad, not bad :)
Finally we visited Card Centre(pic 3). Before we catch the bus back to Cardiff we noticed this small store which sells thousands of cards, everything you can imagine from birthday wishes to funny saying is here. They also have some beautiful magnets also with small sayings etc They don’t say From Caerphilly but they seemed much more interesting for the special ones you have back home.
