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.

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.

A marvellous gothic church with an extremely interesting history. The Mary Redcliffe is just a short walk from the harbourside. Though it is old, the church has a lovely warm feeling. You are made welcome straight away by the volunteers who provide you with a laminated guide which you return before leaving. There are some fascinating stained glass windows and you must see the wooden altar shaped as a boat. This is a working parish church with a difference.

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.

Few areas of La Grande Castle are closed to explore all corners and crevices. The views from the castle and the high rise are beautiful, strolling around the moat. The youngest English medieval castle, nestled between country views and black mountains, has a car park next door and a small shop.

I arranged for Uyuni to wait for the best weather in the sky mirror for 5 days. It was really barren and I had nothing to do. I reported a three-day and two-night group. The tour guide and driver were locals and only spoke Spanish and very limited English. Our Spanish group of baba Lianmeng and guessed was out. Posted. After the train cemetery and the Uyuni salt marsh, you will also pass the cactus island, and take a look at the salt hotel for a long time, but it is too lazy to take pictures. It should be called The Valley of Rocks. Although it is an attraction, there is actually nothing quite original self-driving, and there is no place to supply it all the way. A car takes us to the end of the world.
