Located at the heart of the city, within beautiful parklands, it encompasses a Roman fort, Norman traces, lavish Victorian apartments and wartime tunnels from the Second World War. In 1766 it became Bute family&#8217;s property who transformed the castle into a Welsh Victorian Camelot. However, after the death of the 4th Marquess of Bute, the family decided to give the castle and most of its parklands \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Bute Park \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 to the city of Cardiff. Nowadays, visitors have access to all this history. An introductory film show is followed by a walk with a personal audio guide telling the story of the Welsh soldier over the last 300 years. Guided tours of the apartments&#8217; opulent interiors are also available and there are special events throughout the year. The best thing is that as a resident of the city you can have a castle key that gives you free access to all the castle, plus discounts for your friends and on souvenirs at the gift shop. (All you have to do is to show a proof of your Cardiff address in the ticket office)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Perfect for:<\/em><\/strong> Getting some fresh air on a hangover.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fancy it? <\/em><\/strong>Go to www.cardiffcastle.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/09\/Cardiff-Bay1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110\" title=\"Cardiff Bay\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/09\/Cardiff-Bay1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/09\/Cardiff-Bay1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/09\/Cardiff-Bay1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/09\/Cardiff-Bay1-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Cardiff Bay &amp; Wales Millenium Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before known as Tiger Bay, Cardiff dockland district is Wales&#8217; oldest multi-ethnic community.

For the more adventurous ones here is a suggestion: a two hour night walk in one of Britain&#8217;s oldest Christian sites while listening to ancient and modern ghost tales.\u252c\u00e1 A mournful white lady, seen for generations near the river; a sinister, hooded and faceless man in black who watches and follows visitors; a hideously ugly witch-like demon, a portent of death, haunting the lanes and woodlands; and curious ghostly children, seen, heard and felt throughout the route are some of the stories that you will hear whilst walking near the banks of the river Taff and across an old graveyard. The village of Llandalf is just a 15 minute bus ride from the city centre and if, at the end, it was too much to handle, you can always relax in one of the village&#8217;s pubs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Perfect for:<\/em><\/strong> Thrill-seekers and horror fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fancy it? <\/em><\/strong>Go to www.cardiffhistory.co.uk<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Castle Coch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you approach Castle Coch (translated as \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffRed Castle&#8217;) you will meet the fairytale sight of its beautiful gothic towers poking up through the trees of the forest. This enchanted environment grows stronger as you walk up the winding woodland road to the castles moat and draw bridge. The castle&#8217;s interior is equally impressive: highlights include a nature room with a stunningly painted mural over the ceiling and walls, and fabulous views from the top towers. Unfortunately, the entrance fee is unavoidable\u252c\u00e1 and you don&#8217;t get a huge amount for your money; but the castle grounds are magnificent to explore, so go on a sunny day, take a few beers, and sit back and enjoy the fabled lands.

There is the Turner House Gallery which features changing exhibitions of photography, video and new media art; right now they&#8217;re showing a display by Ffotogallery, the national photography development agency for Wales. Penarth also contains an old Victorian park named Alexandra Gardens and some striking cliff top walks nearby.

Lavernock Point also holds its own piece of history, as it is the spot where the first radio message was ever transmitted over open sea in 1897. It was in May of that year that inventor Guglilmo Marconi transmitted and received the wireless signals in morse code: the message, which can be read in the National Museum of Wales, read &#8220;Are you ready?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Perfect for:<\/em><\/strong> Photo opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fancy it?<\/em><\/strong> Go to www.lavernock.ukfossils.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Itchy feet but empty pockets? \u252c\u00e1Trust our\u252c\u00e1list of \u252c\u00e1Cardiff highlights\u252c\u00e1and discover some amazing places in and around the Welsh capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":265,"featured_media":109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2,4,104,105],"class_list":["post-108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel","tag-bute-park","tag-cardiff-bay","tag-cardiff-castle","tag-roath-park"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
