Cardiff Castle is located in the heart of Cardiff downtown. It is a place which you must go if you visit Cardiff. It is one of the most beautiful castles in Wales. The park outside the castle is free admission. You can take lots of pictures of the outlook of the castle from there. The scenary around the castle area is very beautiful. The park itself is very big, you can take a boat there, for a short river cruise. The symbol of Wales, a dragon statue, is also located there.

It doesn't cost you to enter Exeter Cathedral in the center of the city of Exeter, but I think it's a good idea to raise money in the donation box at the entrance 🙌🏻 England is often cloudy, Even if the sun is not out, the light inserted from the stained glass is alive and well. The ceiling and pillars are dense and beautiful, and it is breathtaking. Please stop by when visiting Exeter 💕

Very old town. The car shuttled through the streets of Bath. It turned out that this was the hometown of "Jane Austen", the female writer with "Pride and Prejudice". Simple, beautiful, leisurely, peaceful, elegant and quiet. It can only be said that it is difficult to describe its beauty. very good. There are many tourists, but it is very orderly. The air is also very good. It feels very pleasant to walk quietly.

Absolutely amazing place. Quite amazing to see such a huge castle next to a town. It's beautiful to walk and makes great photo opportunities. Right next to Caerphilly bus station.

The Glastonbury Abbey in the heart of Glastonbury is the site of legendary King Arthur and Queen Gui Nivir. The stone tower on the hilltop half an hour's walk from the abbey is said to be the gateway to the mysterious kingdom of Avalon. There is a paid parking lot on the side of the monastery, and there are plenty of parking spaces. There is a small bus called Tor Bus in the parking lot, which runs every half an hour and can go to the foot of the hill. It is recommended to take the bus to Tor, because there is no parking lot within a half-hour walk around Tor. Strong feet, love walking travel friends make another argument. Standing in the courtyard of the monastery, you can see the tall Tor, so don't worry about getting lost.

Wells Wells, the smallest city in England, is not far from Bath, and the bus is about an hour away. The city is niche enough to find her information at the location. However, in 1245 Bath and the Welsh Quarter merged, and by the 15th century Bath had lost its religious importance because of the presence of the small town Welsh. Until 2018, Wells had a population of only about 12,000, and from the Middle Ages it was the smallest city in England (only towns in the UK that were granted city status by the royal family could be called City). Wells was a city, and the cathedral was almost the only reason. Originally built in the early 8th century, the church was rebuilt in the early 13th century. The church was designed in accordance with the popular arch-vouching style at the time, which was later called the Gothic architecture. Wells Cathedral was the first church in the UK to be Gothic from the foundation to the roof. The eastern side of the choir seats retains 14th-century stained glass. Because of the movement of the 16th century Henry VIII closed the monastery and the two world wars, only three churches in England still retain the original medieval coloured windows (the other two were the Gloucester Cathedral and the Cathedral of York, which Henry III was crowned) But the 12th century Gothic style is just beginning to become popular in France, Wells architects obviously only heard of the arch coupon but have not learned how to build the arch coupon tall, "study" architects "Gothic" Wells Cathedral built a three-layer structure similar to the Roman-style small windows , accidentally recorded the evolution of Gothic style in the UK. The church does not need tickets, there is a counter at the door to accept voluntary fundraising. The church has a free one-hour explanation almost every hour. The grandfather of the volunteer on crutches told the history of the church with a colorful voice, and occasionally caused a burst of laughter.

A piece of ruined ruins stands in the middle of the city, full of historical significance. The city of Swansea has not had much of a sense of existence, and the ruins of the castle are unvarnished, even if it has been there since 1296.
