Castle Quarter (Welsh: Cwr y Castell) is an independent retail destination area in the north of the city centre of Cardiff, Wales. Castle is also a community (parish) of Cardiff. The listed Castle Quarter includes some of Cardiff's Victorian and Edwardian arcades: Castle Arcade, High Street Arcade and Duke Street Arcade, and principal shopping streets: St Mary Street, High Street, Castle Street and Duke Street. The Castle Quarter hosts over 100 independent businesses.Development of the area by Cardiff Council began in February 2010 aiming to create the Castle Quarter, particularly High Street and St Mary Street, into a pedestrian friendly environment to enhance the city centre. In 2014 the shopping arcades and other major properties in the Castle Quarter were purchased by Mansford with view to restoration and improvement to organically create an exciting leisure destination, home to independent authentic cafe bars, restaurants and unique retailers. Parisian style outdoor seating replaced traffic, creating a remarkable space for locals and visitors alike to eat and drink al fresco in a sunny urban enclave, in full view of Cardiff Castle. The recent restoration work has seen The Castle Quarter embrace its Victorian and Edwardian roots. The ethos behind this is to reintroduce people to authentic Cardiff, independent retailers in the heart of the city.
