Wandering Cardiff Castle

They love their old piles of rocks in the UK. Cardiff, Wales has a nice castle complex with a variety of things to see. Time to conquer.

The original castle, the Norman Keep, early 12th century. Rocks on a hill, no mod-cons. Read the Air BNB listing carefully.

Time to improve one's accommodations. The House, built by the third Marquess of Bute in the 1800s, the Victorian era. The exotic Arab room and a portrait of someone really important at some time to some people.

Book it. The library, the snazziest place to take a nap in a big chair.

The Banqueting Room is covered with murals, including gory battle scenes. Goes well with the blood red wine. How to keep the castle grounds solvent? Throw some modern day parties, rock concerts.

What else to do? Enjoy the rare Welsh sun on the castle green.
