Cardiff Castle animal farm - a photo on Flickriver

            Cardiff Castle is based on a Roman fortification the walls of which are still visible.
An impressive Norman Keep, Mote and Bailey was built during the Norman period.
In the late 18th century the castle passed to the Scottish aristocratic family: the Butes.  The 2nd Marquess Bute turned Cardiff into the largest coal exporting port in the world quickly making the Bute family the world's richest.
On the death of the 2nd Duke the title passed to John the third Marquess Bute (a fervent Medievalist) he transformed the living quarters into a Medieval fantasy.  His enthusiasm was shared by the Victorian architect William Burges and their combined enthusiasm and imagination transformed the interior into a carnival of faux medieval delight.
The photo shows one animal on the animal wall and part of the clock tower.
