Fairoak Road Cathays Cardiff CF14 United Kingdom +44 29 2022 7281 |
Situated in a busy, residential area of Cardiff, the cemetery is a peaceful haven from the shops and offices a few minutes away. Access is restricted to daylight hours, but for those interested in the history of the area there are occasional guided tours in the evenings. They are worth looking out for as they offer a fascinating insight into Cardiff's past. Contact the Cardiff Welcome Centre on the above phone number for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A platform for arts and crafts |
37 Pen-y-Lan Road Roath Park Cardiff CF24 3PG United Kingdom +44 29 2047 2595 |
Oriel Makers is a contemporary craft and art gallery that opened in the summer of 1991 and has built up a fine reputation for quality, unusual works. Acting as a platform from which local artists can show their work and promote themselves, you'll find permanent displays by the resident artists and a programme of temporary exhibitions featuring other UK artists and craftsmen. Much of the work shown in the gallery is for sale, and you have the added advantage of meeting and talking to the various artists - most of whom are happy to accept commissions.

 City-centre haven |

A haven of tranquillity in the middle of Cardiff's busiest shopping area, this church dates back to the 12th century (although most of the present building is late 15th-century), and it still plays an important part in the life of the city today. The church tower was renovated in 1897. With magnificent views over the city, it features a minstrel's gallery and a set of ten bells. Inside the main part of the building, you can enjoy the stained glass windows (some of which are almost 200 years old), a carved oak screen and the pipes of a 19th-century organ. The tea shop is open most days. There is only disabled access to the main part of the church. Review © 2007, Wcities |
