I’ll never make a bus expert. I went to the wrong bus stop to catch this one! It sneakily diverts along Broadway rather than continues along Newport Road all the way. A bit of repositioning was necessary.
My destination today was Llanrumney and specifically a visit to the restored Llanrumney Hall which I had never visited. It was in the past owned by the Morgan family of Tredegar House and then later by the Williams family of Roath Court. George Crofts Williams died an unmarried man at Llanrumney Hall in 1913 leaving what would in today’s terms be £31 million. His insignia can still be seen on the fireplace.
I didn’t have too far to go for a beverage as ‘Beans to Coffee’ are next door. I had some breakfast pancakes with maple syrup and ate them outside in the sunshine. It was hot for the first time this year!
I read about the Williams family of Roath Court in a fascinating recently printed publication followed by a walk up the nearby slopes with good views over to the ridgeway.
