Local history at its best |
Castle Street Abergavenny Cardiff, Cardiff NP7 5EE United Kingdom +44 18 7385 4282 http://www.aboutbritain.com/Ab... |
The market town of Abergavenny is a short drive or train ride north of Cardiff and is worth a visit in itself. While you're there, make sure you visit the ruined Norman castle, which houses the town's museum. There is a permanent display detailing the rich history of the area from Roman times, including the infamous massacre of the Welsh Lords by William de Braose in the 12th and a regularly changing series of temporary exhibitions throughout the year. Quizzes and special activities will keep the children amused. Take a picnic and enjoy the scenic castle gardens. The museum closes at 4pm from November to February. Admission: adults £1; concessions £0.75; children free when accompanied by an adult Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sleeping Beauty's castle |
Castle Rd (Tongwynlais) Cardiff CF15 7JQ United Kingdom +44 29 2081 0101 |
Located five miles north of Cardiff Castle, Castell Coch, or the "Red Castle," was built to be its country companion. Built on the foundation of a 13th century castle, it was always intended more as a realisation of a romantic fantasy, than as a practical residence. The castle, which looks like something out of a fairytale, was the culmination of the combined efforts of the Marquess of Bute and William Burges. Review © 2007, Wcities |
