October Break

in South Wales - part 2


There is another place  I would like to share with you -
St Fagans National Museum of History 
(or Museum of Welsh Life - an open air museum) near Cardiff.
The Museum is in the grounds of St Fagans Castle and gardens, late 16th century manor house, which was donated to the people of Wales by the Earl of Plymouth in 1948.
Here over 50 historical buildings, including a medieval church, shops, farm houses, toll house, hotel among many, from all over Wales, have been re-built, and the project is still not yet finished.
We were lucky that we had a bright and sunny day for our visit;
I leave you to enjoy the walk:


































The beautiful modern wool applique wall hangings in Llys Llywelyn - 
medieval prince's meeting hall, which depict parts of Welsh history,  were apparently designed by local school children.






This is a wonderful place, set in beautiful grounds - 
not to be missed if you ever happen to be in the area.
