Well we ventured down from Liverpool towards the bottom of Wales due to the van parks have all closed for the year! Only some remain open. We were told that they have to close to show that people are permanently staying there, but we also probably see that this time of year not many people are travelling coming into winter.
In Wrexham on the way through we stopped to see a grand old church and a have a look about. Yep lots of churches around the UK. We also saw the Black & White house.
Today we ventured into Cardiff which is not far away. We have an app that gives us a few local places of interest and I also wanted to check out a few Dr Who and Tourchwood sights used in filming.
We wandered through a nice arcade in the centre of town called the Royal Arcade. Most of the centre is not accessible by car so lots of area to walk about in a mall setup.
We went and had a look at Cardiff Castle which was donated to the city by the Marquis of Bute. His statue is around the place.
Also the National museum, the Cardiff story museum at the Hayes, the Cardiff markets, Cardiff Arms millennium stadium, Millennium Centre, Rohl Dahl Plass, Mermaid Key, the Pier head building and the Norwegian Church and art centre.
Cardiff Arms stadium is where the Welsh play lots of Rugby.
The Millennium Centre is a huge building where lots of plays and musicals are held.
Next to that is Rohl Dahl plass dedicated to him.
Next to that is the Tourchwood headquarters(Mermaid Key) used in that show.
Funny that a Norwegian church is here but it has been here for 150 years.
Other interesting places.
Longest place name, along the top. Lots name here have Ll or GG, Dd etc in them. Names are unpronounceable in English. No bearing on our words it seems.
