    Our Travel Planning Resources For This Trip

    We used TripAdvisor to identify attractions to see once we had our short list of cities identified for this UK trip.  We selected Cardiff to be our hub in Wales.  That would make it easy to get to several places in Wales, including Raglan, Barry Island, and key attractions we selected in Cardiff.

    We leveraged “DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain” to identify specific attractions during our trip.  The book helped to identify walking tours and museums and times when particular places are open to visitors.  We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a more extended trip.
