Cardiff
Cardiff, United KingdomToday’s journey goes straight to the Capital of Wales, Cardiff which takes approximately three and a half hours by car. The roots of its name are debated, but it is widely believed that the original Welsh title Caer-Taff (Fort on the Taff) originated from the English corruption. In the 1st century AD, in Roman times, a little fortification was built, where the Gloucester-Carmarthen road crossed the Taff several times before the present stone-closed site was created. With the arrival of Normans in the 11th century, the city began its continuing existence. Within the remnants of the Roman fort, possibly already in 1081, the Norman landowner Robert Fitzhamon built a fortification. The Castle of Cardiff was the foundation of Glamorgan lords who for the next 450 years ruled over the County in the name of the English Crown. Cardiff, with many things to see, is a fantastic place to visit. 3 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2

Cardiff Bay
, Cardiff, United Kingdom, Cf105The Industrial Revolution of the 1790s, which spurred mining in South Wales' valleys, is the origin for Cardiff's history. The Glamorganshire Canal was also built in 1794, which carried down iron and coal from the valley. With the growth of the industry, it became clear that a more efficient transport was needed and the Taff Vale Railway was opened in 1840. The increasingly growing trade in iron and coal was also the reason for many docks in the Victorian era. Butetown and the surrounding dockland have during this period become a cosmopolitan city of seafarers from around the world who made Cardiff their home. In the 1880s Cardiff had been the largest city in Wales, and its harbour handled more coal than any other harbour in the country. Coal shipments hit a record of 13 million tonnes on the eve of the First World War in 1913. 2 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView LocationAccommodation
