We found a nice basic cafe for breakfast called 'Truffles' which was a 5 minute walk away from our hotel and close to the castle. It was very reasonably priced and we found something on the menu that we both felt like! Then it was time to explore Cardiff Castle which we were really excited about! We started by watching a film which basically showed us a quick insight into the history of the castle. We were presented with audio guides so we could listen to...
