Tame the Taff Trail
From the heart of Cardiff bay to the head of the valleys. The 55 mile Taff trail starts in Cardiff Bay and weaves its way up to Brecon. Passing through a wide variety of urban and suburban landscapes, you can explore on bike or foot.
Dance on Ice
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a novice, visit Cardiff Bay’s brand new Ice rink. Not only home to the Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey team, it’s also open to the public.
Make a splash in Cardiff Bay
With a wide range of Watersports to choose from, head to Cardiff Bay. Sailing, windsurfing, rowing and kayaking are catered for all year round with professional guidance at hand.
Don’t forget your bathers
Fancy a dip in the pool? Cardiff has a brand new 50m, ten-lane Olympic sized facility perfect for a few lengths. If that’s not your style, there’s also a separate 25m four-lane leisure pool, including a family water area and four water rides.
Tee up in the Capital
With plenty of green space about, you’ll find some great golf courses such as Old St Mellons, Royal Porthcawl, The Celtic Manor and The Vale, all a short driving distances from Cardiff city centre. Enjoy at your leisure.
Four wheeled valley explorer
Take to the hills. For a day out with a difference, experience the challenge of negotiating a 90cc or 250cc Honda all-terrain vehicle cross-country. The Taff and Rhymney Valley's make for a great scramble - don’t forget a change of clothes.
