Cardiff Castle


Heart of the city
Castle Street
Cardiff CF10 2RB
United Kingdom
+44 29 2087 8100
http://www.cardiffcastle.com/
Cardiff Castle is an impressively gaudy affair with its flamboyant Victorian clock tower and extraordinarily ornate gilded interiors. This site has been crowned a castle, since the early days of the Roman occupation of Wales, and parts of a Roman wall are still visible, beneath the outer battlements. It was the third Marquess of Bute, who with the help of the architect William Burgess, began the grandiose alterations we see today. Admission: adults GBP6.50; child GBP4.

Make Cardiff's new-look tourist office your first stop when you're visiting the city. Located opposite the main bus station, it's easy to find and contains a wealth of information about the local area. Large, glass doors allow easy wheelchair access into a well designed display area full of everything you need to know about Cardiff and Wales, including events guides, hotel and restaurant details and places to visit by day and night. Information is available in several languages. Most of it is free, though there are also local interest books, maps and tourist guides for sale.

River Taff


Riverbank stroll
Cardiff Welcome Centre
16 Wood Street
Cardiff CF10 1ES
United Kingdom
+44 29 2022 7281
The River Taff runs through the centre of Cardiff and a walk along its banks will take you on a five-mile route through some of the best scenery of the city centre. Starting at Cardiff Castle, simply follow the river north. Llandaff Cathedral is a major landmark and it's worth taking a detour to look at the building more closely. Eventually the river takes you to the north-west edge of the city, at which point it is possible to cross to the other bank and retrace your path back to the castle. A very easy walk and ideal for those nervous of maps - all you have to do is follow the river and you won't get lost.
