We went down to Wales to spend the Christmas holiday. Early on in our trip we went to the capital city of Cardiff. Cardiff Castle is in the centre of the city, and a fortification has been in this location since Roman times.
Us on top of the very old lookout, with the Welsh flag in the background.
A view of Cardiff from the castle lookout.
Walking through Bute Park we catch a final glimpse of the castle. Bute Park was given to the city of Cardiff by the Marquess of Bute who also owned the castle. The Marquess was one of the richest men in all of Britain and was quite eccentric. He poured a lot of his money into refurbishing the castle to his every whim, with each room ending up more extravagant then the last. Unfortunately we could not take pictures inside.
