A grass football pitch inside a 400m, eight-lane running track is the focal point of this international standard stadium situated close to Cardiff City Football Club. Staging a variety of sporting events throughout the year, the stadium is home to several amateur athletics groups and is also open to the public for casual use. Facilities include seating for 5,000 spectators, a skateboard area, gymnasium and keep-fit area and floodlit all-weather playing fields. A train line runs from the city centre to the football ground, so it is extremely easily accessible. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 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 |
 Sea, sand and gardens |
Penarth Tourist Information, The Esplanade, Penarth Cardiff CF64 3AU United Kingdom +44 29 20 70 8849 |
A few minutes' drive or a short bus or train journey from Cardiff city centre will take you to the coast and this picturesque Victorian resort, with its gift shops, restaurants and old-fashioned pier. The marina offers a touch of modernity, with its waterfront homes and collection of yachts. A bracing cliff-top walk takes you alongside landscaped gardens which date back to the last century and there are plenty of benches for those who prefer to just sit and watch the sea. Also, take a look at St Augustine's Church on Church Place where the composer Dr Joseph Parry (who composed the famous Welsh melody Myfanwy, much-loved by male-voice choirs) is buried.
