‘One of the strangest rooms in Britain’: The Summer Smoking Room at Cardiff Castle

About

Situated at the top of the Clock Tower, the summer smoking room has recently undergone extensive HLF funded conservation. Rarely open due to its sensitive and delicate fabric, this lecture on the room’s history, with Castle Curator Matthew Williams, will be followed by a viewing of this unique interior by William Burges. There are 101 steps to negotiate to reach The Summer Smoking Room.
