Where to stay

in Cardiff

Charming and compact, Cardiff sits between a picturesque castle and an ultramodern waterfront. The lively city has certainly reinvented itself from when it was known as an industrial port town. Today, it is popular for its exciting rugby tournaments, thriving shopping and art scenes, and castles. While choice of accommodations in most Cardiff neighborhoods is still dominated by chain hotels, there are increasingly more other great options where visitors can stay, including cozy boutique inns.

Surviving section of the medieval town wall of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales. A nearby plaque reads: "The wall that defended the mediaval town of Chepstow has been called the Portwall for many years. It was apparently planned and built as a whole by order of Roger Bigod, fifth Earl of Norfolk, during the period 1272-1278. About two-thirds of the original length of 1123 metres still survives. . . . The wall now appears smaller as the ground level has risen by about 2m, there was also a defensive ditch in front of the wall."
