Mark - Trip to Wales
 |
| Stained glass window from inside Cardiff Castle |
Our hotel was very old, and
was built on the edge of the cliff. We
could see the ocean and walk along the
beach every day.
We visited two popular attractions: Saint David’s Cathedral (Welsh: Eglwys Gadeiriol Tyddewi)
and Caldey Island (Welsh: Ynys Bŷr).
St. David’s Cathedral is built in the city of St. David’s, which is the smallest city in the United Kingdom. They started construction on the cathedral in 1181, which makes
it very old. Caldey Island is famous for having a Benedictine monastery. However, the first
monastery was founded in the sixth
century by a group of Celts.
The only way to get to the island is by boat. If you are lucky you can see lots
of wildlife. On our journey we saw some grey seals!
On our way back to Cardiff we stopped off at Castle Coch. Some people say it is
fairytale castle because it looks like a
castle from a child’s storybook. My father says it is haunted, but we didn’t see any ghosts!
