 The Bay and Penarth by boat |
The Warehouse 7 Hunter Street Cardiff CF10 5GX United Kingdom +44 29 2048 8842 http://www.cardiffcats.com |
"Cardiff CATS runs four water buses from Mermaid Quay in Cardiff Bay and the Penarth Marina. Each boat is fully enclosed and seats 50. With stops across the Bay, the River Taff and the River Ely, the energetic visitor can combine a trip with some sight-seeing on foot, while the more leisurely-minded sit back and enjoy a full circular tour. It's a great way of seeing the new developments without having to brave the Welsh weather. A return trip across the Bay costs approximately GBP3 for adults and GBP2 for children. The boats are also available for group hire. Disabled access is limited, but assistance can be provided." Review © 2007, Wcities |

A mark in history |
Barry Docks Cardiff, WE CF62 5QS United Kingdom +44 14 4674 7661 |
Like a defiant rock piercing the surface of a lake, the island of Flat Holm proudly stands five miles off the Cardiff/Barry coast. It is a small piece of land with an amazing claim to fame: the destination for Marconi's first radio message sent over water. The island, now a picturesque nature reserve with war fortifications and a lighthouse still visible, welcomes day trippers. Trips, lasting about three hours, are organised by the Flat Holm Project on the Lewis Alexander boat, which can carry up to 45 passengers. Advance is essential. Tours run from March to October daily.
