Welsh Castles

For my first day in Cardiff, I went to see three Welsh castles: Cardiff Castle, Castell Coch, and Caerphilly Castle. First on my list was the one right in town: Cardiff Castle. Lots of cool stuff was to be found inside.

I then went to the next stop, Castell Coch, which involved a short uber ride and was nestled along the Taff river in southern wales.

Fforest Fawr, right next to Castell Coch, was a perfect example of what I think of when I think of a medieval forest near a castle. I can definitely retrace their steps through this forest of people from past lives who may have struggled to get through the forest to get to the castle, even the castle was mainly for the third Marquess of Bute's partying.

I then sat down for a nice cup of Chai at the local Forest Tea Room. It is a quaint little spot in the middle of the forest that reminds me very much of a mom-and-pop's cabin, complete with a chicken and peacock coop. Although the peacocks did not embellish their feathers, I still enjoyed it all. Sounds of nature, crackling log fire, freshly grilled pancakes, the blooming lilacs on the trees, and the stillness of time in this place.

 The last stop of my day with me to Caerphilly Castle Castle that was built in the 12th century and has never been under any sort of successful siege. All I have tried all have failed.even though there was the least amount for substance here, this concentric castle definitely both of the best sites.I don't get on a train to Cefn Onn park, the pictures, missed the bus back to town and walked a half hour to grab some food.
