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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |
