On the way to London from Swansea, I stopped in Cardiff for a day.
It was hot–too hot–and bright, but I still headed to the Cardiff Castle, where I learned about its history, including the fact that it was only in the Victorian era that Cardiff discovered the castle was built on a much older site–a Roman legion fort. They cleared away centuries of dirt to uncover the old walls, demarcated by the red line in the brick.

Monkeys are a popular decoration in castles.
For a little longer, Cardiff is also home to the Doctor Who Experience, which I’d visited in London years ago with Courtney. The guide told me the experience was significantly different here. It wasn’t, but I still took some pictures.
Monkey went with me.
Cardiff is also the home to the Torchwood Institute. And Ianto’s Shrine.
