West Lodge, Cardiff Castle

It is approximately 100 metres (330 ft) west of the Castle, with the Animal Wall running in-between.

All are built in grey stone in a Gothic style with crenellated parapets above.

[1] The West Lodge was given a Grade II* heritage listing in 1952, being an "integral part of the development of Cardiff Castle and Bute Park" and having a group value with the nearby Animal Wall.

[1] As part of a £5.6-million Bute Park restoration project, the West Lodge was converted into tea rooms and a gift shop in 2012.

Victorian floor tiles had been laid in the tea rooms, which had been recovered from the nearby ruins of Blackfriars Friary in 1977.
