I have lived in Wales for over 50 years and I have never visited Llandaff Cathedral, so I thought that I had better put that right. On Thursday 10th of February I took my normal bus to Cardiff but got off in Llandaff. I turned left at the Black Lion on High Street past some cafes, coffee shops and the ruins of Llandaff Castle, the residence of the bishops of Llandaff.
I took some pictures of the surrounding area including the school parks. I then had a well earned coffee before walking through Bute park, to the banks of the river Taff and finally into the centre of Cardiff where I had a much needed lunch.
During my lunch I planned out my next step in my journey which was to follow the river to Cardiff Bay. So I had to get beyond the rail lines by going under rail lines onto the dual carriageway and turning right towards Grange town where considerable new building work is being carried out in Central Quay. I walked further along the road until I reached the bridge over the river Taff where I followed the river to the bay.
I had walked halfway across the barrage when I decided to return to the bay for another coffee in the Arts Centre. Rather than catching a bus I walked back to Cardiff centre along Lloyd George avenue to my final bus ride back to Llantrisant.
I was getting a bit tired by this time as I realised I had walked for 10.5 miles which is why I am a bit weary still today. However I am very pleased to have found my river route to the bay.
I hope you enjoy my photographs of my little adventure.
