👍👍 Standing within Roath Park Lake it looks dramatic and reminds all that it was from Cardiff that the Terra Nova left from Cardiff in 1910 with Captain Robert Scott bound for Antarctica.

Tretower Court and Castle/ Llys a Chastell Tre-tŵr
Historical landmark
👍👍 Nice place to visit for an hour. The staff were obviously so passionate about it, it really showed and was pretty infectious - the gentleman who greeted us made a point of saying that the displays and cupboards etc were laid out to be touched / opened / explored and out 5 year old took this as a cha...

👍👍 As a wedding photographer my self it was a really nice setting for a wedding. Just beautiful setting for a wedding with all the lights and grounds, was a little tricky to find for parking but made sense after you know where to go.

Maen Llia
Historical landmark
👍👍 The oldest (4000 years old!) and the biggest standing stone in Wales. 3.7m tall - massive 🤩 I felt so small standing on its side! The display sign was moulded in the shape of the stone itself and talks about the Bronze Age. Great history lesson for all ages! 🪨 The access to the stone is easy (ar...

Capel Mair
Historical landmark
👍👍 The views from the ruined church are quietly inspirational within the natural setting. Looking down on the sea dunes, the reservoir, and of course the Margam country estate. Plus a bit of the steel works and the M4 that is far enough away not to intrude. The ruins themselves benefit from being re...
