Has anyone been to Cardiff?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Good city, plenty of independent outlets still, some great parks, amenities for families with kids and entertainment venues be that pubs or theatres..
Yes traffic can be a mare but that can be said for pretty much everywhere..

Loads. It's ok. I'm not a city person and only go to them for specific reasons. It has a well managed half marathon every year. It's also on the mainline from London so trains traveling west to Swansea run till late on weekday nights.
On the plus side, much of its grandeur was paid for by the exploitation of local people in various industries as opposed to the usual thing of empire and sl#ves - though it has its share of those too.

"I lived there for 7 years. Just no. Physically it’s essential Croydon with an added Castle, socially it’s very disjointed and at odds with itself as a community and is provincial in its outlook. "
Absolute rubbish, couldn't be more wrong |

good for music scene again now after a short lull .... some good afterclub blues if you know where to look ... the city has the oldest record shop in the world and kellys records in the market has a massive selection of second hand stuff too. good independent world food places to eat up city road. |

Disagree..
I know Croydon more than I know Cardiff and the former whilst it's not as bad in parts as it's made out simply doesn't compare..

"Tell me more
Just go already 😁"
Well I have identified some attractions I’d like to visit.
It is a good point to connect to some places I can explore. Plus sounds like it’s good itself. Think I’ll treat myself. |

It depends what you like and what you're looking for.
Cardiff is ok to visit, but Wales in general is a really beautiful place. |

"Right, another question: anywhere nice to walk nearby? Trails that are easy to get to? X"
Look up the Taff trail and the Cardiff Bay trails. Depends on what you want to see and how far you want to walk. |

Cardiff Castle is right in the midst of the City and you could go in there and explore/wander around. The grounds are quite big.
But Taff trail also accessible and Cardiff Bay not too far.
Also Cardiff Museum is right in the City Centre too, over by the Crown Court etc.
Pubs? No idea anymore as they’ve changed the City so much since I was there last, the pubs I frequented have gone 😭
Might be worth asking on the Wales forum? |

I did think that but didn’t want to just pop in there for just that when I’m not a regular in there you know.  |

"Make sure you get cheese chips and gravy from Dorothys on Caroline Street (aka chippy alley)
😋
I would second this, or chicken curry off the bone, half and half"
