Cardiff

May 2008


Cardiff

The Great Escape roadshow will be coming to Queen Street (near the Arcade) in Cardiff on the 9th – 10th May. You can enter The Great Escape competition there in person, or by clicking here.

Cardiff was proclaimed capital of Wales in 1955, and is Europe's youngest capital city. Situated on the Bristol Channel, Cardiff has a proud heritage of being one of the great seaports of the world. Cardiff is also the gateway to Southern Wales, with stunning countryside and pristine national parks only a short journey away.

Here are just a few places you can explore this summer:

St Fagans: National History Museum

St Fagans is one of Europe's foremost open-air museums and Wales' most popular heritage attraction. It stands in the grounds of the magnificent St Fagans Castle, a late 16th century manor house donated to the people of Wales by the Earl of Plymouth.

During the last sixty years, over forty original buildings from different historical periods have been re-created in the 100-acre parkland. The re-created buildings include houses, a school, a medieval church and a splendid Workmen's Institute. There are also workshops on the site where craftsmen demonstrate their traditional skills.
