This wall extends from the castle and has stone carvings of various animals which would have been very exotic when it was created. Much fun 🙂

A wonderfully well preserved effigy of the rich history that is present across Cardiff and South Wales

Built in 1280, this castle has a fascinating life story. It is the second largest castle and grounds in UK, slightly smaller than Windsor castle. The water defenses are now home to plenty of birds and the grounds offer fantastic views of this stunning castle

Such a beautiful place and quite an emotional and spiritual place for me. As Grace mentioned above it has a chapel. That chapel is called Penrhiw chapel, it was built in Drefach Felindre in West Wales. My father lived a very short walk from that chapel, the entire family used to worship in it and my cousin ended up preaching in it (he is alive today at 95+). My dad and his brothers all went away to fight in WW2, they would come back and find solace in 'Penrhiw' for the ones who didn't come back. It was really the spiritual fulcrum for my whole family. I guess I am lucky as every time I go to St Fagan's I can go to Penrhiw and speak to my father once more....

St Fagans is a museum situated to the west of the city of Cardiff in South Wales that beautifully showcases the history of Welsh life. The museum is Wales' most popular heritage attraction, bringing many visitors each year. There are endless fascinating places to discover inside the grounds, including an old sweet shop, a chapel, a Workmen's Institute, a set of traditional cottages laid out in their original style, and a late 16th-century manor house and gardens. It is free to enter the grounds and opening times are 10am-5pm every day.

Totally cool wall - unfortunately a bit too close to the street

The best view of the the Animal Wall is at the southern boundary of the park from Castle Street. The carving of the animals began in the late 1880s. Architect William Frame brought the wall to life, based on sketches byarchitect William Burges who was employed by the 3rd Marquess of Bute. The original wall was built in the 1890s directly outside the castle. Original animals included: a pair of lions holding shields, a lioness, a lynx, a bear, a sea lion, a wolf, a pair of apes and a hyena. You can tell these apart from their later cousins because they have glass eyes. The wall was moved and relocated west of the Castle in 1923 due to the widening of Duke Street, and six extra animals were added. The six additional animals were the vulture, beaver, leopard, a pair of raccoons, a pelican and an anteater. https://bute-park.com/attraction/the-animal-wall

Caerphilly Castle has had a £5m investment into conservation and repair of the structure - from late October '22 the scaffold and sheeting that protected the works will be removed. Caerphilly Castle is the biggest castle in Wales, and second biggest in the UK. Wales’s very own Leaning Tower, even wonkier than that of Pisa — courtesy of Civil War gunpowder is probably the castle’s best-loved feature.
