Looking for Man and Van Hire in Cardiff?

Cardiff, Welsh Caerdydd, city and capital of Wales. Cardiff exists as both a city and a county within the Welsh unitary authority system of local government. It is located within the historic county of Glamorgan (Morgannwg) on the Bristol Channel at the mouth of the River Taff, about 150 miles (240 km) west of London. The origins of its name are a point of debate but are widely believed to have come from an English corruption of the original Welsh title Caer-Taff (Fort on the Taff).

Cardiff has many notable buildings, though few historic ones (the main exceptions being the castle, Llandaff Cathedral, and the medieval parish church of St. John). The Civic Centre in Cathays Park is a fine set of public buildings, built since 1904, mostly in portland stone, and set among ornamental gardens and broad avenues. Noteworthy among these public buildings are the city hall, the law courts, the National Museum Wales (with one of the largest collections of Impressionist paintings outside Paris), the Welsh National War Memorial, and Cardiff University, which was created when University College Cardiff and the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology merged in 1988 (adopting the name Cardiff University in 1999). Also noteworthy is the Old Library building, completed in 1882, which now houses the Cardiff Story Museum, the city’s history museum. The docklands of the former port were renovated during the 1990s, with one of Europe’s largest-ever waterfront developments, centring on the construction of a tidal barrage, which enclosed 490 acres (200 hectares) of water as a freshwater lake. New developments along the waterfront included Techniquest, an interactive science museum; the Wales Millennium Centre, an exhibition and performance space that opened in 2004; and hotels and restaurants as well as sports and recreation facilities. The waterfront development helped transform Cardiff into a major tourist destination in the early 21st century. In 1999 Cardiff became the seat of government for Wales, and the parliament building, the Senedd, opened in 2006.
