Cardiff in The Vale of Glamorgan is a modern city surrounded by beautiful countryside. The spectacularly wild and rugged Heritage Coastline leads into Cardiff Bay, Europe's largest waterfront development where substantial regeneration has lead to stylish shopping arcades and attractions for all the family. Cardiff Castle is the jewel in the crown of the city's attractions featuring Roman and Norman fortification. Bars and restaurants are plenty and set out to cater for all tastes. 2005 saw Cardiff celebrate 100 years as a city and 50 years as Capital of Wales.
