What Makes Cardiff So Special
The waterfront at the marina
The south facing terrace overlooking the marina brings the delights of alfresco dining and live music nights at the Coffi Co Lounge Bar as well as Ty Melin Bakery, run by Angharad and Lance who offer artisan coffee and delights such as ‘the croissant bomb’.
Cruising in the Bay, Mermaid Quay & the Bristol Channel
What could be dreamier than exploring the 200 hectares of freshwater within Cardiff Bay before mooring up on the pay as you go pontoons at Mermaid Quay and enjoying a great night out before cruising back? Or if you are feeling a little more adventurous, the Barrage allows 24 hour access to the Bristol Channel.
