Cardiff epitomises “Cool Cymru “ – Europe’s youngest capital city is proud of a reputation for fun, friendliness and cultural harmony. Cardiff Bay (previously Tiger Bay & surroundings ) has seen massive investment.
The Welsh Assembly Government is based here and the Bay contains chic housing, restaurants and shops. The architecturally spectacular Millenium Arts Centre is bilingually inscribed “In These Stones Horizons Sing “ – it’s true throughout Cardiff. Visit the Norwegian church refurbished as an artspace and café or be pampered at the world famous St David’s Hotel & Spa . Then take a train to the art- deco central station or a bus or river taxi to the city centre At the city’s heart is Cardiff Castle – opulent, gilded surfaces, esoteric artefacts and enchanting murals. Even the castle walls are decorative.
Popular legend says that if the city is in peril, the stone animals will awaken leaving their sentinal posts. The Castle Grounds link to Blackweir Park and Sophia Gardens – home of The Welsh National Institute for Sport , Glamorgan Cricket Club and the start of the Taff Trail – miles of “green lung “ corridor for walkers and cyclists.
