|
|
A guy called The second Marquess of Bute began restoring the castle in the mid 1800's but kicked the bucket during the process. In the main part of the castle there is a very well presented library and chapel type area which many people report a ghostly feeling, but apparently BUTE has been seen moving between these two rooms. The castle's main dining room / hall is also the scene of paranormal activity. I have not witnessed it myself but many people including staff report that early hours of the morning at the same time every day heavy doors open and shut by themselves and the lights flash |

Right, Once again I have managed to find some pics of Cardiff Castle which were hidden deep amongst a load of other files on my computer. These pictures were taken last year at the end of july.

I just can't imagine the manpower needed to build such structures back in the day. Probably took the lives of many men who probably were mostly slaves. |

You were would think, but these men were men of honour and proud to do anything for their rulers as it was their rulers who gave them protection and sacrificed themselves. The reason why so many of these castles are so big is because the villages were setup within the castle grounds. you read any history of these castles and it would amaze you with the amount of dedication. |

Most of what you see now was constructed in Victorian times, so paid labour.
Kind Regards
