 Pleasantly hilly with great scenery |
Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 http://www.btinternet.com/~car... |
Offering panoramic views and a variety of scenery, it is possible to take a bus from Cardiff direct to the top of Caerphilly Mountain. For those travelling by car, there is a small lay-by at the top suitable for short-term parking. This is a very popular area for walkers of all ages, hilly but not too strenuous, with clearly marked paths incorporating parts of the longer Ridgeway walk. Full details of a three-mile walk around the mountainside are given in the book Capital Walks published by the Cardiff Ramblers' Association, or ask at the Cardiff Welcome Centre for details of the best routes to take.

 Ladies-only gym |
3 Castle Street Cardiff CF1 1BS United Kingdom +44 29 20 34 4331 |
This is the only ladies-only health club in the city. If you are a member of the Lady in Leisure chain, you may use the facilities free of charge, otherwise there is a substantial joining fee and then a small monthly charge. It could be worth your while however, if you're going to be staying in Cardiff for six months or more. Facilities include an aerobics studio, gymnasium, toning beds, sunbeds and sauna and a relaxation lounge. There are lots of classes and special events and members benefit from individually tailored training programmes which are regularly reviewed. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Pride of Cardiff |
101 St Mary St Cardiff CF10 1GE United Kingdom +44 0870 013 8600 http://www.millenniumstadium.c... |
Built to replace the hallowed Cardiff Arms Park, this GBP100,000,000 development was used for the first time for the Rugby World Cup in 1999 and has since hosted numerous world class sporting events. It is also used as a venue for spectacular pop concerts. The 75,000-seater stadium has a retractable roof which means even the unpredictable British weather cannot spoil your viewing pleasure. Visitors to the city should take advantage of the stadium tours which run daily. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Circling Caerphilly |
Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 |
This 27-mile circular walk around Caerphilly links the three ridges of Mynydd-y-Grug, Thornhill and Eglwysilan. The whole route is recommended for experienced walkers while the less energetic might like to take just one section of it. Caerphilly makes a convenient starting point, easily accessible from Cardiff. Expect a fair amount of climbing as the route leads over open hills. Your hard work will be rewarded with panoramic views over the Brecon Beacons and the Bristol Channel. On a clear day it is possible to catch glimpses of Somerset. Contact the Cardiff Welcome Centre for full details of the route, or take a look at the Cardiff Ramblers' website. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mountain with a hump |
Cardiff Welcome Centre 16 Wood Street Cardiff CF10 1ES United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 http://www.ramblers.co.uk/walk... |
A short drive east of Cardiff, Twmbarlwm is a pretty little mountain that makes an ideal viewpoint over the surrounding countryside and has the added attraction of a Norman motte. There are several marked walks in the area, the longest being a fairly strenuous seven-mile walk from the village of Pant yr Eos. The less energetic will be glad to know that it is possible to take a car almost to the top of the mountain where you can sit and enjoy the views. The romantically-inclined come here in the evening to watch the sun go down. Ask at the Cardiff Welcome Centre for details of walks in the area. Review © 2007, Wcities |
