"If you're interested in sports, try to take in a rugby match at the nearby Principality Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park. And if that's not possible - the Welsh take their rugby seriously, so matches often sell out (especially international matches) - at least opt for a tour of this state-of-the-art stadium. Highlights of an informative organized tour include behind-the-scenes peeks into the national rugby team's change rooms and the tunnels that lead to the pitch, as well as the VIP and press facilities."
"Quite possibly the best place to watch rugby in the world, the stadium is coming a Welsh sporting icon in its own right. Though some will argue it is not technically a building it is the tallest structure in Cardiff."
"It’s Exmoor’s highest summit, sloping upwards to a height of 519 metres above sea level. Once you’ve reached the top you can experience one of Somerset’s most celebrated panoramas encompassing Dartmoor’s rugged tors to the south, the Mendip and Quantock Hills to the east, and the rolling Devonshire uplands and the Welsh peninsula to the north – a truly spectacular vantage point and well worth all the upward yards. Follow the ancient path to the summit cairn and enjoy a picnic lunch upon this lofty moorland perch, once part of the Royal Forest of Exmoor held by Henry II and forged from Hangman Sandstone."
"Exmoor’s highest point is Dunkery Beacon, which boasts incredible 360 degree views of surrounding hills and woodland and of course the Bristol Channel. One of the best things to do in Exmoor is to hike to the top!. Be sure to spot the many Exmoor ponies that live on the moor as you walk to the top of the trig point to admire the view, before continuing along the circular walk which will take you back down to the car park."
"Done imagining yourself as a medieval court jester, and tired of looking at the natural beauty all around you (not that you could ever get tired of it)?. A good place to go from here is the Royal Welsh College Of Music & Drama. They have a pretty rich and diverse calendar of free events that you can enjoy in the foyer and gallery - from musical performances to art shows."
"Another pub with a passion for the homebrew is Riverside's Brewhouse & Kitchen. Sat on the banks of the Taff, this gorgeous bar boasts an on-site microbrewery, meaning you've always got access to nothing but the very freshest pints. Moreover, they'll even let you try your hand at making your own as their interactive experience day takes you behind the scenes to see how it all comes together, sample eight of their signature beers, and walk away with a mini keg of your favourite."
"The offer at Brewhouse & Kitchen isn’t necessarily bottomless, but that doesn’t make it any less worthwhile!. Their prosecco brunch lets you choose one of three yummy brunch dishes, plus half a bottle of prosecco, for just £16 per person. If you fancy a boozy start to your day but aren’t ready to go the full hog with a proper bottomless brunch, then this might be the perfect choice for you."
"Home to one of Cardiff's best beer gardens, Brewhouse & Kitchen is the perfect place to pitch up for a few bevvies in the sun this summer. Get stuck into their delicious menu of chicken wings, burgers and other pub classics, alongside a few swifties of their home-brewed signature beer."
"A relative newcomer in ale circles, Crafty Devil have worked tirelessly to establish themselves on the Welsh beer scene. Launched in 2014 by two brew-loving pals in a garden shed, the brand is known for staying true to its independent roots, producing excellent local beers for local people. Their methods have proved a success as they've managed to open two taprooms, one plot in Penarth popular with breakfasters, and another beer garden-boasting bar down the road from their Canton brewery."
"With local art on the walls and an informal vibe, this cool cafe is recommended on the strength of its breakfast," says the Lonely Planet travel guide. And who can argue with that?"
"We love the sound of their American-style pancakes with smoked bacon or bananas and maple syrup. Where: 71 Pontcanna Street, Cardiff CF11 9HS"
"The award-winning artisan bakery started in Bristol and has opened several Parsons Bakeries in south Wales. It is family-owned and has traded through two world wars and several world recessions. They bake bread, cakes and pastries."
