St. Fagans
Not only are there extensive gardens to enjoy in the grounds of St. Fagans Castle, there is the open-air St. Fagans National Museum of History, a collection of significant and historic buildings relocated from across Wales, including a farm, tannery, mills and a chapel.  Each building opens a door into Welsh history through an understanding of ordinary people’s everyday lives.
