The Welsh capital may have begun its life as a Roman fort, but it's since become a bustling city. Where the fort once stood, Cardiff Castle has held court since the 11th century. It remains a central presence in the city, now full of lively art and music venues, hip boutiques, fun bars and modern hotels. Even with so many new and exciting things to see, the National History Museum is still the most visited attraction in Wales. Don't be the only visitor who plays hooky!

A Cathedral full of history in a unique setting. The newly restored Organ Loft, houses an unbelievable array of pipes, which when played, thoroughly compliment the organist and this magnificent Cathedral.

A cultural and community destination with a 160-year history. Beautiful mansion and gardens, the Potting Shed Café, plus room hire, events, and weddings. Open every day. 'This House is a Stage' is a new permanent immersive exhibition on the first floor of the mansion. Visitors can follow the voices through the abandoned rooms to hear their stories come to life through a mix of audio technology and drama, sharing the story of the Insole family, their triumphs and their tragedies.
Just 5 years ago, Insole Court was mostly derelict and now it has been completed (and sympathetically) restored to become a hub for Llandaff, and greater Cardiff alike. Entrance is free and for those who are able to donate there are collection points which directly fund the managing trust. As well as the gorgeous restored areas of the main mansion house (which are available for hire), there are also extensive landscaped gardens, The Potting Shed cafe (which serves amazing cakes) and several multipurpose dance studios and meeting facilities. There is ample parking and the site is widely accessible with a lift in the main house. They run numerous events and classes over the course of the year, one of the highlights is the food festival in summer.
