"If your yearning for learning wasn't fully sated at the National Museum of Wales, make the short journey west of the city center to St. Fagans National Museum of History.

Highlights include the opportunity to explore a variety of original and reproduction buildings, including quaint farmhouses and cottages, well-kept gardens, along with workshops and mills where you can enjoy demonstrations of old machinery."

There are also festivals and seasonal celebrations of traditional music and dance, making a trip to St Fagans a wonderfully engaging day out for the whole family."

"Nantgarw China Works tends to fly under the radar when compared to the bigger names on this list, but what it lakes in fame, it more than makes up for in beauty. So why should you visit?. Well, for a start it's the only surviving 19th century porcelain works in the whole of the UK."

"The Landmark Theatre is impossible to miss – a pair of domes resembling nuclear plant cooling towers (or Madonna’s Bra as it’s nicknamed) nestled between Tunnels Beach and Widemouth Beach. It hosts plays, gigs, talks and musicals, and the quirky and somewhat intimate setting makes for a great audience experience. These recommendations were updated on September 2, 2021 to keep your travel plans fresh."

"After the Victorian Pavilion Theatre burnt down in the 1980s the Niemeyer-esque Landmark Theatre took its place. Looking like a pair of kilns or cooling towers on the promenade, the theatre clashes with the otherwise historic townscape. If you’re in need of some light entertainment there are musicals, tribute bands and touring classic rock and pop artists."

"The Landmark Theatre is an award-winning theatre in Ilfracombe which offers a heap of seasonal programs and shows from; music, drama, comedy, dance, film, festivals (you name it, it goes on here). Double-check their listings before you visit Ilfracombe and book your tickets in advance. In the busier months, tickets can sell out much faster."

"21/05/2021: I’ve had the pleasure of eating here a few times between lockdowns.The food has been 1st class every time and I will definitely be back and recommend to others.After the reading the reviews I do agree there are 1 or 2 staff members that could make a little more effort with attitude but I certainly wouldn’t say they are anywhere near rude,just busy and adapting to changing situations.Nobody should have to deal with rude people at work,even if they are customers!!!. I will will look forward to coming back very soon. 05/05/2021: Just had 2 takeaway pizzas, so so so tasty!"

"Award-winning Pizzeria Villaggio has been serving great Italian food for more than 30 years in the Whitchurch suburb of Cardiff. Run by the Palladino family all that time, the next generation of family are bringing a new energy for the 21st century. In keeping with an influx of new blood, the restaurant has recently benefited from new branding and an interior makeover."

"I know the food at Villaggio so well; I don’t need to see the menu. Having the king prawn gamberoni to start with some bread to mop up the creamy tomato and garlic sauce. Then either a gallese pizza (cheese, tomato, laverbread, leeks and bacon) or penne al pollo (chicken and mushrooms in a rich, creamy white wine sauce)."

"Conveniently located right in the centre of Cardiff (just across from the St. David's 2 shopping centre), Giovanni's offers a warm welcome and a menu that encapsulates, as the restaurant's website puts it, "the true taste of Italy". Image Source: facebook.com/giovannisonthehayes"
