I’m in Cardiff right now for a day or so. I thoroughly walked the castle grounds today and the entire perimeter. But did not go in. Thanks for showing what I missed!

Oh missed so much in Cardiff. The Bay, even the stunning walk from the Bay to Penarth along the barrage on a sunmers day is amazing. Castel Coch - A beautiful fairytale castle St Fagans - a free open and inside museum that spans acres.. they have a complete history and is a must when visiting Cardiff

I know! I had such a short amount of time but I didn’t want to miss Cardiff all together. There will be a much longer visit to Wales in my future!

Live in Cardiff/Caerdydd and enjoyed your video. I really must give the castle another visit as just take it for granted. Yes, the Marquis of Bute owned the castle and park until he gave it to Cardiff Council in 1947 (the Bute's owned much of the city - esp mines and docks etc during the nineteenth century). For any visitor who likes the Gothic Revival (such as the decor within the castle), the Butes also owned and decorated another castle just outside the city >>> Castell Coch. That is definitely worth a visit. That castle too was given away by the Butes in the 1950's.

Thank you! And thanks for the information. That will absolutely not be my last trip to Cardiff or Wales so I will look for the other castle in my next trip!

I have to say, you missed a lot. For example, you didn't go and visit the Bay. But Cardiff needs at least two days to visit properly, and when you get only one day, it can be difficult, and frustrating.
@BonVoyageBrenda6 ай бұрын
I totally agree! I will be doing another visit because I only had a short time. But I’m glad I got to visit at all!

Good video. OMG no wonder that wartime music was creepy in the castle, I'm sure it's the song at the end of The Shining movie too😅The 'Bristol bay' is actually called the Bristol Channel 😉. Glad you liked it. Did you know that David Hasselhoff is is a regular visitor to Cardiff, as his wife is Welsh (they met in Cardiff) and he hofften visit his inlaws. He's never shy of a selfi with a fan lol. Oh and legendry rock n roller Jerry Lee Lewis' ("Great Balls of Fire"), sister and singer Linda lives Penarth, a small seaside town next to Cardiff 🏴
