Happy St David’s Day. This is our monthly roundup of what’s happening on our social media channels.
The month started off with a visit to the castle for “Film Nights at Castell Coch”.
I found this tweet about children’s books inspired by the castle and surrounding area. The author’s father-in-law was born in Tongwynlais and Michaela Sherlock, the illustrator, lives here.
