Next time you're in Cardiff you neeeeeeed to go down Cardiff Bay. My fiance is from Dallas and he came over to visit back in June 2021 and he loved it when I took him. It's much better on a spring/summers day but it's still nice this time of year. If you go when it's warmer you can get some amazing icecream, check out the ferris wheel, the Millennium Centre is a gorgeous building, there's boat tours you can take which don't cost too much I think they're around £8 a person. Lots of super nice cafe's and restaurants, statues and memorials. Honestly it's just a nice day out!

The grounds and the manor house were built on the site of a 13th century castle, hence retaining the word "castle" (castell, in Welsh) in the name. Places built on the sites of previous castles or fortifications often retain "castle" in their names - Newcastle and Castleford, for example.

I entirely agree, Tony. I would also add that land-owners who liked grandiose houses also liked to label them "castles" because it had more kudos. The point of a castle is it is a defensive structure (and aggressive if it houses an army safely, enabling it to go forth to attack at times). US forts in the US Cavilery v native Americans were similar - save they were made of wood (as British castles were originally). The most recent castle to be built in Britain was castle Drogo in devon (England - just below Wales) in the 1920s but it, too, is "merely" a very large residence with no military role.

It's great to see you walking past all the picnic spots I've used over the years! My favourite is by the stepping stones near the beginning of the video. Beautiful spot in the summer. I haven't seen anyone suggest Llancaich Fawr. It's about an hour away near Merthyr Tydfil but if you like 'living history' like this then it's perfect. It's a civil war era manor and all the people working there are in costume and in character for that area. Really good fun. It's also supposed to be one of the country's most haunted buildings and in the autumn and winter it does night time 'ghost tours'! I've been at Halloween a few times. Well worth the trip!

St Fagan's Castle looks very familiar as has appeared in many films and TV series'. "Poldark" is one that springs to mind. Living Museums are found all over the UK and are a godsend to film and TV producers looking for period, unmolested buildings and interiors. They also pay handsomely.and the museum gets a mention in the credits.

It would be so interesting to live in any of those homes but especially the castle since it probably has some form of modern plumbing. lol! They all look so cozy with their antique furnishings. The general store is such a neat glimpse into the past and how nice to be able to shop for gifts in the smaller shop. The woolen mill has got to be the coolest of all. Of course, I highly doubt that way back when the old fashioned methods were the only option for making clothes the people having to do all the work really thought it was all that great but it is really impressive that they still make their woolens by using a spinning wheel.

Enjoyed the video Ash. If you want to do the beaches two suggestions in South Wales. Firstly the Pembrokeshire coast. Tenby is magical ...but Saundesfoot, Newgale and a host of numerous beaches are wonderful. Closer is the Gower Peninsula (Swansea). Three Cliffs Bay and Rhosilli are dramatic. But there is a nice walk from Langland Bay to Caswell Bay....30 min walk by the cliffs ...cafes on both sides. A warm sunny day you might want to swim...Fab. An aside, if you ever want to be treated at Marco's cafe beach front to a cappachino and Ice cream, my lady Julie and I are more than happy to entertain you and your partner! Can show you around Barry. Have watched your videos since the Way away and always enjoyed. Hope you find happiness in God's own country! Pob lwc.... Chris.

Whenever we want to spend a few days with my daughter and her family in Cardiff, my husband and I book into a Premier Inn just outside Cardiff - only costs around £60 a night for the two of us plus breakfast. Since we retired, we've been travelling all over the country using budget hotels like Premier Inn or Travelodge as our base for exploring the area for few days - it works out so much cheaper than anything else - They always have buffet style breakfasts, so we have a full cooked breakfast and make up a 'doggy bag' of some of the cold options on offer (muffins, yoghurt, apples etc...) to keep us going until dinner in the evening - and there's always plenty of free parking.

Castell Coch I’m certain you would love visiting. Big Pit Mining museum and Carleon Roman ruins etc there’s lots to see and do plus Wales as you probably know, have a ton of castles.

Awesome to see you explore St Fagans. My personal suggestion would be to also return in the summer when it’s fully open. It’s a lot more of a tourist attraction but when fully open it almost has a small town feel to it. Completely agree with the love for properties that have a history of their own and that is definitely one of the most magical part of St Fagans.

Adding to all the fabulous recommendations, I'd say for a very close destination, go to Penarth. It is easy to reach from Cardiff by bus and is a nice little coastal town. If you want to venture a little bit further, the Brecon Beacons are just lovely, cannot recommend them enough. Hay on Wye is a great place to visit there, especially if you love books.

You must really try and get to the Gower peninsula its stunning but maybe do it as an overnighter or hire a car if you can

I'm trying to plan a multi day costal walk around the Gower. I just have to wait for the weather to get a bit nicer for an outdoor trek like that.

Ash, you should visit Castell Coch if you haven't already, it's such a beautiful place and it's like being inside a fairy tale! We went there just recently and fell in love with the castle. Really enjoyed watching this and loving your journey so far in Wales. All the best !

It's called "castle" because the house was built on the site of a castle.

Castle comes from the Spanish "Castilla" meaning homestead. any home can be an Englishman's Castle and he can defend it to the death by law

Your in one of my favourite places it’s worth a visit on a food & drink festival, the row of cottages I used to play in them as a child before they moved them! Here’s a few places that are definitely worth visiting, Castle Coch, Dyffryn Gardens, Cardiff Castle, Big Pit, Dan yr ogof show caves, Brecon Beacons and the waterfalls, and I also suggest checking out Cowbridge it’s a market town it’s got some lovely shops & places to eat.. Thank you for your videos, if you need any info or more places to go I’m happy to help 😃

Love this Ash! So excited as well to see what you are planning on seeing next! Would love to see more of the food options in that store and see you try things like this! 😁🥰 They all look so interesting! I would love to go here one day! Very cool stories surrounding it and I also am fascinated by the special stories that happened in these places. I realllly think you will LOVE Llandudno and the Great Orme if you choose to visit there! The train up to the top has stunning views! I really think it would be cool to see you visit and re-visit so many of the castles there as there are hundreds of them! Over 600 to be exact for Wales! (That's a lot of Content if ya know what I mean lol)

@@WingingItWithAsh I would never get tired of seeing them! Each one is different as well as the stories behind them. My family and I learned that we can even enjoy a ruined castle just as much as a fancy, fully restored one. You get to explore all the left behind nooks and crannies! However, with many of the show castles you might only be able to visit by tour and then are restricted to only certain rooms of the castle. Either way, when it comes to castles, I love them all!
