Just beside Cardiff Castle at the entrance to Bute Park, you can't miss the Animal Wall displaying 15 different animal-skultpures in stones. The wall was built in 1890 with the original 9 animals, and in 1931 6 more animals were added to the wall. In 2010 the wall were restored and missing parts of some of the animals were rebuilt. The wall won't take long to see, but it's a fun thing - not at least if you're travelling with kids.

Address: Bute Park entrance, Castle Street, central Cardiff
Directions: Just beside the Cardiff Castle

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
