My visit to Llandaff Cathedral was one of the high points of my recent trip to Wales. I was touched by the semicircular "memorial" area located where a bomb was dropped, resulting in extensive damage to the cathedral. This area is where the cremated remains of the bombing victims were scattered and where (at least this is what I was told) people still scatter the ashes of their loved ones. During my visit there were numerous floral tributes at the site. It was very touching. There was one door that withstood the impact of the bomb and is referred to as the "door that held". Old crypts and burial places abound both inside and outside. A "modern" design piece, which houses the pipes for the organ, is located centrally within the cathedral. This structure is very controversial...I did not meet a single person in Wales who approves of its incorporation into the cathedral. It has a rather linear, modern look which is a bit antagonistic to the historical atmosphere of the cathedral. In itself, though, it is quite lovely. Photography is permitted within LLandaff Cathedral, however photographs are not permitted in the area of the triptych, an exquisitly beautiful work of art. Also interesting is the fact that the likenesses of the monarchy surround the cathedral just below the roof. I noticed Queen Victoria, but not Queen Elizabeth. I was assurred it's somewhere, however. This is a beautiful cathedral...if you're planning a visit to Wales, especially if you're interested in history, don't miss it.
