Cardiff Castle
cardiff castle is undoubtedly one of wales's
leading attractions. right in the very heart of the capital, next
to the magnificent bute park and city centre shopping, cardiff
castle’s fairytale towers conceal an elaborate
and splendid interior. its history spans nearly 2,000 years,
starting with the coming of the romans in the first century AD.
the castle’s
keep was built following the norman conquest, and a number of
fortifications and dwellings were added in subsequent centuries.
from 1866 the architect william burges transformed the castle
lodgings with opulent interiors rich with murals, stained glass,
marble, gilding and elaborate wood carvings. each room in cardiff castle has
its own special theme and deserves a leisurely visit to absorb
its magnificence.
as well as visiting the spectacular interiors at Cardiff
Castle,
visitors can enjoy the castle grounds, where peacocks, ducks and
geese wander freely. or, enjoy a break in the castle tea rooms
for coffees, light lunches and afternoon tea. finally, pay a visit
to the gift shop at the main entrance for a unique memento of cardiff
castle’s splendour.
best of all it’s only a mile away from the royal hotel cardiff,
making it an excellent and convenient day out or short adventure
for guests.
