Cardiff is unique in Wales in having two permanent stone circles used by the Gorsedd of Bards during Eisteddfodau. |

The original circle stands in Gorsedd Gardens in front of the National Museum while its 1978 replacement is situated in Bute Park. |
|
If no stone circle is there already, one is created out of Gorsedd stones, usually taken from the local area. |
|
It was followed in 1792 by the Gorsedd of Bards of the Isle of Britain, also founded in London. |

The Gorsedd ceremony was held on the Hermitage Field, next to Plas Newydd, and the circle of stones was later moved into the grounds of the hall. |
