Why We Love This…
“Cardiff is a small city which makes it easy to get around and explore the many bars, restaurants and sights the city has on offer. I love how you can be surrounded by mountains and waterfalls in Brecon Beacons in no time! My personal favourites are Canyoning in Waterfall Country & Paddleboarding in Cardiff Bay.”
