I'm just a bit claustrophobic and the tour was presented in a way (of course after paying the fee), in the film, the height of the dummy walls in the anteroom, I thought I could manage walking through. Noone tells you that you are standing bent (the walls at the beginning of the tour aren't as high as in the anteroom and I'm only 165cm), and therefore closed in from all sides, in that line of people while listening to the tour guide in the front of the line. It would have been no problem for me to walk there, but not to stand there bent for minutes not knowing how long this would take. This was too much, so 50 metres maybe in the Underground Passages. The stylish vestibule could use some additional information.

Now obviously it's not one of Cardiff main attractions and if you're reading this from across the waters you're better off just checking out on yelp other than booking flights over. Its nothing spectacular but is definitely worth mentioning for its quirkiness. One of the prettier round about's the city has to offer!

You have to park in the village car park and walk to the cottage. It will take about 10 mins to walk there and if it is a nice day then quite a nice walk. Unfortunatly it poured down and we had to run there! The cottage is fascinating, it has been restored to its orginal glory. They uncovered a wall panel dating back to the 16th century. You can walk around all the rooms and then view the garden. In the garden there is an unusual garden house that is worth seeing. Well worth it if you are in the area.

Make sure you do check the tide times before you go in, but you can get re-admission via a stamped hand as we did when the tide was in. You probably want it at least half out when you arrive. As you enter through the cliffs the first bits you get to are viewing platforms up the cliffs which you can look over a couple of coves west of the main Ilfracombe beach. You can step down to the beach from the lower two platforms on to the beach. Now you have choice of two main activities, theres a huge abundance of rock climbing, large rock pools with associated animals hiding in them and plenty of places to explore, climb, walk and such forth. You can walk up and down rocks both sides of the Tunnels you walk out of, just be aware of the tide. The main other attraction is the gentlemans bathing pool, which is uncovered by the tide, a large pool that gets left full by the tide, and man man surrounds and warms up with the sun (if its out!). Quite deep and jaggedy in places you have to be careful but it really is good fun. Highely recommended for all ages!

The venue is also great for weddings, with a lovely large lawn outside. Also do not expect to find a traditional castle as such, on top of a hill with a moat and battlements etc. From the back it does not even look like a castle!

But be quick these curious creatures look suspiciously as though they are trying to escape Bute park and find a spot of lunch in the Hayes! The animals were originally crafted by Victorian artisan Thomas Nicholls. They were painted, although the paint has since faded and the stone work is currently being cleaned and restored. This wall needs to be seriously bigged up because although connected to Cardiff Castle many visitors won't venture this far to the castles right and so will never see this curious site.

They're only just above head height so you can get a proper look at them. An exciting revelation occurred recently where the aardvark whose nose had been stolen got a brand new one. Sources say he is delighted. The reason I love this wall is because it inspired a lot of ideas that end up in 'Griffin's Castle', a book I remember reading when I was younger by Jenny Nimmo. In this book these stone statues all come to life, and it's an idea that's stuck with me every time I pass the animals on the wall. I swear sometimes I pass by and they're in different positions, but that's almost certainly my imagination.

The gardens themselves are compact, serene and filled with little hidden gems everywhere. Wander. Rest. Contemplate. Fun fact: one of the thorn bushes here was reputedly planted by Joseph of Arimathea during his pilgrimage here, using a piece of the Crown of Thorns.

I'm so used to the winding back roads of Bath, the independent shops and the local way of life. So when my friends came down to escape the Big Smoke for the weekend I took full advantage of being a tourist for the day! We scratched off a couple of options; bus tour? 'We get on a bus everyday!' Trip around the Baths? 'I've already been on a school trip!' Boat trip? ... A resounding yes! With plenty of trips to choose from, we ended up going on the next one that was leaving the lock, and I'm really pleased we did. The hour round trip cost just £6 for a guided tour and some bread to feed the ducks. We saw the first corset factory in England, the lowest bridge in Bath and everything in between. An informative and fun way to spend an hour for locals and tourists alike!

It's always a risky business going back to places we remember from our pre adulthood and time can sometimes be cruel to this kind of place. Babbacombe Model Village has kept its wonderfully quaint cuteness and charm I am pleased to report. Not much has changed (in the nicest possible way) and the miniature figures have been lovingly maintained by the dedicated team here. My favourite scene is still the village cricket ground but we were also amused by the mock shop names and plays on words as you walk around and take in each mini scene. A sharp March morning probably meant we took a brisker walk than if we'd ventured here in summer and I'd say it would be a somewhat miserable walk in the rain so try and catch it in the sunshine if you can. If you are taking children make sure you let them know the game of where's wally they can play to spot the popular characters in amongst the other inhabitants, as it just adds an extra level of entertainment for them. I'd struggle to see how you'd spend more than 2 hours here but I cannot stress how lovely the walk around is, serving as a peaceful break from sandcastles, arcades and fish and chips. I'd love to come on one of the evening where they light up the village with illuminations as would think it adds a whole other level of realism to the place which conversely probably only makes it feel more magical. One word, lovely.

At one point, pigs took over the city with 106 fully sized painted pigs dotted in every street, park and underpass. I won't bore you with history, but the history behind the project dates back to 863BC when Bladud and his pigs were travelling the country in search for a new residence when he, and his beloved animals, contracted leprosy. But, whilst travelling through Bath Bladud's pigs rolled in the hot mud around Bath's springs and were miraculously cured! Sadly, all the pigs have now been auctioned for charity, but you'll still be able to find one or two dotted around so keep your eyes peeled! The workshop which made the pigs is still there selling posters, cards and mini pig statues.
