In the centre of what was once a large fortress is an earthen mound with the remains of a thick-walled building on top of it, which may be all that’s left of an earlier keep. Links to Caerphilly Castle too - see plaque in the gatehouse.

Originally a small medieval fortress, it is thought that the palace was first built by William de Braose who became Bishop in 1266. The palace was abandoned as a residence following damage in the Owain Glyndwr rebellion of 1402-05, with the Bishops thereafter preferring their more secure dwelling at Mathern in Monmouthshire. Although the palace seems to have remained intact until at least 1601, it was probably destroyed during the English Civil War when many castles were similarly slighted by Parliamentarian forces. The only substantial remains today are the impressive gatehouse, the rest of the site is now an ornamental park which was developed in the 1970’s.

Lllanblethian is a quaint and picturesque village that sits above the River Thaw in the Vale of Glamorgan. It's an ancient village, outdating the nearby market town of Cowbridge, and hosting a number of beautiful historic buildings. The village is home to St Quentin's Castle, a 14th-century castle perched upon a hill, a church that dates back to the 12th-century dedicated to St John the Baptist, and an early 18th-century great house that sits along the river.

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 Castle & Gardens is situated inside the grounds of St Fagans museum. It is a Grade I listed building and a fantastic example of an Elizabethan manor house. The house is open for the public to explore, and the interior is designed to reflect how it would have looked when the occupants were living in inside. Some very helpful staff will be happy to run you through some of the fascinating history attached to the place.

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.

Castell Coch is a 19th-century castle overlooking the village of Tongwynlais. Whilst there has been a castle on the site since the Norman period, architect William Burges transformed the crumbling medieval ruins into a Gothic masterpiece during the Victorian era, under the request of the third Marquess of Bute. Entry to the castle costs £7.70 for adults, £4.60 for children, £6.10 for seniors, and £21.60 for families. For more information, visit: cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/castell-coch.

The museum was founded in 1946 following the donation of the castle and lands by the Earl of Plymouth. It opened its doors to the public in 1948, under the name of the Welsh Folk Museum. The museum's name in Welsh (also meaning "Welsh Folk Museum") has remained unchanged since that date, whereas the English title was revised to Museum of Welsh Life, thereafter St Fagans National History Museum, and again to its current title.] The brainchild of Iorwerth Peate, the museum was modelled on Skansen, the outdoor museum of vernacular Swedish architecture in Stockholm. Most structures re-erected in Skansen were built of wood and are thus easily taken apart and reassembled, but a comparable museum in Wales was going to be more ambitious, as much of the vernacular architecture of Wales is made of masonry.
