Located in Cardiff city centre, the Temple of Peace first opened in 1938 and stands out as the venue with a heart. It is a Grade II listed building, is home to the Welsh Centre of International Affairs (WCIA) and is recognised as a symbol of Wales' concern for international peace: all profits generated from booking the Temple's Marble Hall go straight back into the WCIA.

Opend on 23 October 1934, Swansea's Guildhall has played a central role in the civic life of the city for many years. The building has proved to be functional as well as being architecturally splendid. Its innovative design and features were widely copied in other municipal buildings during the two decades following its completion. As the civic centre, it has functioned as the focal point of local government and justice, it is the fount of civic ceremony, and is one of the principal centres of social and cultural life in Swansea. The Guildhall has undergone several alterations and extensions, but it has retained its original character as an example of 'a classical approach to modernism'. It is now regarded as an historic building in its own right, and one of which the people of Swansea are justifiably proud.

Formerly known as The Hospice, St John's House is the oldest habitable dwelling in the town, c.1511. Described by the Royal Commission as: "A Hearth Passage house, the crenellated beams at The Hospice are the only known domestic examples in Glamorgan; the architectural detail is not only of high quality but increasingly lavish timber detail signals the hierarchy of rooms." The house is open on the second Sunday and last Saturday of each month (except December): 11am - 3pm.

The present Parish Church St Mary the Virgin was built in 1843 but it harbours a history of a thousand years, with tales of Norman conquest, Reformation, the English Civil war, industrial expansion and catholic revival. The church is open for visits and worship and other events

The church and graveyatd are well worth a visit. The church is tranquil and gives z lot of history of the area and context to it's role within the community. The additional parking and honesty box are an added gesture. It is easy to access the downs, headland and beach from here.

We visited the National Assembly on a Saturday morning on the off chance of a cuppa and sneaky peek at the architecture!! What we got was a tremendously friendly welcome from security and staff at reception. We enjoyed a fantastic tour of the chamber itself by knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed a lovely cuppa (panad cymreig!!), brownies and Welsh cakes with stunning views over the bay. We got to hear about the Welsh Youth Parliment, that it was possible to sit in the gallery and watch the goings on in the chamber on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the sustainability and eco-friendly ways of heating/lighting/saving water. We can really recommend a visit and can't explain how pleased we were to find such a treasure of friendly people working there!! Diolch yn fawr iawn x

Welcome to The Valley Hotel, Bishopston. Situated on the Gower penninsular we are a stepping stone away from the beautiful coastline and famous Bishopston Valley, we welcome walkers, families, and not forgetting four legged friends. Offering traditional and freshly prepared food daily, refreshing beers, wines and classic ales. We have a dedicated restaurant area that seats up to 40 people. We offer a lite bite menu, grill menu and daily specials. We work with local fresh produce and suppliers to ensure every dish is the best it can be.
We called in by chance while staying in the area. We had planned to go to the Gower Inn, but they were full. Then we aimed for the Joiners Arms but ended at the Valley as they had space in the car park! However we were very pleased that we did - they had plenty of space to sit both inside and out. The beer was very good quality (though one of the few pubs we visited in Gower that didn’t have Gower beer). The menu was written on a chalk board, and several of us had the lamb which we all thought was great, and one of our favourite meals while staying in the Gower!
