The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is a small network of canals in South Wales. For most of its currently navigable 35-mile length it runs through the Brecon Beacons National Park, and its present rural character and tranquillity belies its original purpose as an industrial corridor for coal and iron, which were brought to the canal by a network of tramways and/or railroads, many of which were built and owned by the canal company. The Mon and Brec was originally two independent canals – the Monmouthshire Canal from Newport to Pontymoile Basin and the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal running from Pontymoile to Brecon. Both canals were abandoned in 1962, but the Brecknock and Abergavenny route and a small section of the Monmouthshire route have been reopened since 1970. Much of the rest of ...

The toilet may even be outside of the home in the case of pit latrines. It may also be a question of available space in the house whether the toilet is included in the bathroom or not. Historically, bathing was often a collective activity, which took place in public baths.

Brecon Beacon's National Park, South Wales, Visit Britain - Unravel Travel TV

Brecon Beacon's National Park in South Wales covers five hundred and nineteen square miles and is of course centered on the Brecon Beacon range of hills. The park was established in 1957 and it straddles some of the finest landscapes in the British Isles; with wild hills, lakes and water falls to explore. But to many visitors it's the park's remoteness which is its greatest charm, it's a real taste of the great outdoors. Recently the western half of the park has been designated a Geopark -- a place renowned for its geology. There are only half a dozen of these Geoparks in the whole of United Kingdom. Mining here was once an economic mainstay. Iron and coal were taken from these hills to help fire the industrial revolution. A feature of the Geopark are its waterfalls, but not all are above ground. This one which falls for forty feet is actually five hundred feet beneath the surface in a complex of caves at Dan-yr-Ogof. One of the caves is called 'Cathedral Cave' a truly massive cavern. These caves formed through the erosion of limestone by water over centuries. At one stage this systems of caves was totally filled by water. Once the water level fell and the cave was filled with air formations like stalactites and stalagmites began forming within the caves. The caves are an important feature of the geo park and are a must see on a trip to the Brecon Beacons. The life size model dinosaurs on the surrounding hillsides add an extra dimension to a visit here. The models help to explain in dinosaurs terms how geological time evolves and how that in turn shaped the landscape we see today. They seem right at home in the rugged beauty of this unique National Park of the Brecon Beacons.

My Instagram:
My Camera Gear:

Wales is one of my favourite places for travel photography. I love the landscapes, the wild weather, and the open spaces. And thee drives getting from photo spot to photo spot are brilliant as well. So when I got asked to do a travel photography assignment in Wales I jumped all over it.
There are so many places in Wales for photography, although my assignment focuses on the south of the country. I'm starting in Cardiff and visiting places like Tintern Abbey and Brecon Beacons National Park. And amazingly, the weather is beautiful. We'll see if I can manage to use those blue skies to my advantage.
This will likely be a 6 part series of photography vlogs in Wales.

10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide

Join us from Cardiff, Wales as we cover 10 things to do in Cardiff city including popular attractions, cool castes, green escapes, and Welsh food worth trying in this travel guide. Although we were sick for most of our visit to Cardiff, UK we ended up still finding enough time to visit the city center, our neighborhood and a few off-the-beaten path attractions.

What we loved most about Cardiff, Wales is just how friendly the locals here are in the supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and cafe that we frequented. On a rainy day we might put on the kettle, down a few Welsh cakes and pop open our umbrella for a wee stroll. When it was sunny, which fortunately for us was most of the time, we enjoyed exploring castles and arcades while wandering around in parks.

Cardiff is a city you appreciate the more you linger. You start to find favorite cafes, restaurants and pubs you return to frequently and after a while you feel more like a local after recognizing faces in and around your neighborhood. This is what we'll remember most and why we recommend visiting Cardiff which is a city with more of a town vibe.

10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide Video Script:

Well hello hello from Cardiff, Wales. New destination for us. New destination. It is our very first time to Wales and we're so excited to be here. We've wanted to come to Wales for a really long time and we're going to explore Cardiff and show you guys what you can do here in this travel guide.

We started our visit of Cardiff Castle with a self-guided tour of the Castle Apartments. This is the newest-looking part of the castle as it was renovated in the early 19th century in the Gothic revival style. As part of the tour we got to see the Banqueting Hall, the Library, and a few different rooms, but the place that really caught our attention was the Arab room designed in a Moorish style which is quite different from the rest of the rooms.

We continued on to the Norman Keep, which dates to the 11th century. The 12-sided structure sits atop a hill and is surrounded by a moat, and if you climb to the very top you get some nice 360 degree views of the city.

And lastly, we visited the roman walls, and although these too have been renovated, the foundations date back to 50 AD.

And that’s it for our visit to Cardiff, Wales. Our trip was short and sweet but we hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do in Cardiff on your own visit. Now you know the drill, if you have any other suggestions of cool things to do in and around Cardiff, feel free to share those with fellow travellers in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!

This is part of our Travel in Wales video series showcasing Welsh food, Welsh culture and Welsh cuisine.
