Dyffryn Gardens

Manor house and gardens

St Nicholas
Cardiff CF5 6SU
United Kingdom
+44 29 2059 3328
http://www.dyffryngardens.org.uk/

A 55-acre Edwardian garden a few miles from the city, this is a beautiful place to visit at any time of the year. A huge lawn, ornamental lake, a range of formal and informal gardens, rare plants and trees and a stately, stone-built manor are among the attractions on offer here. Look out for the open-air theatre and special events on summer weekends. The garden is a 20 minute walk from the nearest bus stop and therefore, best accessed by car. Disabled facilities include courtesy wheelchairs from the visitors' centre - phone to book one before you go. Admission: adults £3.50; student/senior £2.50; family £7. Admission is free from October to March.

National History Museum

Open-air museum A4232
(St. Fagans)
Cardiff CF5 6XB
United Kingdom
+44 29 2057 3500
http://www.nmgw.ac.uk/mwl This expansive museum is set on an open-air site that incorporates a small castle and the site of a Civil War battle. Most visitors come to see the buildings, which have been taken from all over Wales and carefully moved and rebuilt here. From a medieval church, a terrace of miners' cottages (each one reflecting a different decade) and a wartime shopping centre to the energy-efficient House of the Future, the museum offers a comprehensive view of Welsh life through time.
