The TARDIS has made a surprise appearance on top of Caerphilly Castle.

Dr Who’s TARDIS has landed on top of Caerphilly Castle to help boost visitor numbers at the historic monument.

The blue police box, which is located on top of the Inner Gatehouse tower, will be lit up during the night and will remain at the castle until the New Year.

The castle was used to film some of the scenes in the final two episodes of the BBC Wales production, broadcast on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.

Caerphilly Castle and the town centre will be hosting Caerphilly’s Medieval Christmas Fayre this Saturday and Sunday 13.

John Wallis, the site operations manager said: “We’re all very excited about the arrival of the TARDIS at Caerphilly Castle.

“The Doctor Who crew came to film recently and the Castle plays a part in the last couple of episodes.

“I’m delighted that the TARDIS is in place in time for our Caerphilly’s Medieval Christmas fayre this weekend. As well as enjoying a variety of events and activities here at the Castle, visitors can now also witness this world-famous blue box at the Inner East Gatehouse tower.”
