Cardiff Bay

Lovely Bay - with lots of restaurants and bars, a nice playground for the kids.Beautiful place. It's great for a nice walk with amazing views , perfect for dog walkers

Really has come on and improved.The bay is now fully open and vibrant. The ghost development of past has come of age.Really pleasant on a hot sunny day. Enjoy a reasonably price boat trip out if the weather is fine

Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time.As Cardiff exports grew, so did its population; dockworkers and sailors from across the world settled in neighbourhoods close to the docks, known as Tiger Bay, and communities from up to 50 different nationalities, including Norwegian, Somali, Yemeni, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Caribbean and Irish helped create the unique multicultural character of the area.After the Second World War most of the industry closed down and the area became a neglected part of Cardiff, a wasteland of derelict docks and mudflats. Social exclusion of the area's inhabitants rose and Cardiff Bay had above average levels of unemployment.[2] But, in 1999, new life was injected into the area by the building of the Cardiff Bay Barrage, one of the most controversial building projects of the day but also one of the most successful.

It is a beautiful place where you can have a good time with friends and family. You can have lunch in one of the nice restaurants too.

Was nice but think we visited at the wrong time of year to be really enjoyable as not a lot was open

Lovely place to visit. Interesting and plenty of places to eat. Can take a boat ride as well.

Nice place to go to sepend everything with family and friends,Highly calm place around Cardiff,Sunset is fantastic.

It's one of my favourite places. Lovely walks and views. There are plenty of events and places to visit, do, and eat. Something for everyone.

Enjoyed the evening walk along the Cardiff Bay barrage. A lot of restaurants. A quick bus ride from the Cardiff centre.
