Short walk

**Derek** · 8th May 07, 01:25 AM

Yesterday we had all planned on going for a good long walk, taking in a few country pubs on route. However, I got myself ready and just after this pic was taken, it started to tip down. Half hour later a few of our gang phoned to say they were'nt gonna come because of the weather.

However, those that stayed in the ball game all met up at one of the Lloyds/Wetherspoons pubs in town, where we regrouped and decided what we would do. Arwyn did have a pint behind him by the way.

We then took of on for a shortish walk to Llandaff, about an hour and a half away, where there is a great real ale pub and grub. Right by Llandaff Cathedral. The walk takes you through all the castle grounds and parks along the river Taff. Did'nt think to take any pics there. Half hour into the walk and the clouds parted and the sun came out and it was glorious. Its only when the Cathedral came into few I thought I'd better take some pics. The Cathedral is in the old part of the city. Heading up towards the Cathedral. You can just see some of the old fortifications.

Our walk brought us to the rear of the Cathedral

A little further up the road

And a little further again up the road you come to the 'Well'. The pub is only about 200yds from here.

Here is a pic of the plaque.

Thats all the pics I took, I'm afraid. We did'nt have enough time to go around the front of the Cathedral or in it. Will go again if anyone would like to see some more pics.

Wonderful pictures again Derek, and yes I for one would like to see more sometime. It must be nice to have so much history so close, we have nothing like that over here.

Old Churches fascinate me. Do you know anything more about the well other than what was on the placard?

Derek, ya did it again. You made me realize we really don't have 'history' here in the states. We just haven't been around long enough...at least here on the west coast. Thanks for posting the pictures.
