  • Also Cardiff here, grew up and came back. Would agree with a lot that's been said so far, I've mostly lived Roath/Cathays/penylan side of the city which is pretty good too, if less trendy than Canton/Pontcanna etc. City is small enough that it sort of doesn't matter where you are, you still get access to the good stuff.

    Have looked at moving away for jobs a few times but can't ever make it stack up cost of living wise.

  • Thank you!

    It's still definitely front of mind for me. I've got this Friday off work so am weighing up visiting to try and get a feel for the place. I know it's technically against the guidelines, but I live alone, have no real social contact and would just spend the time walking around the city before crashing at a Premier Inn.

    Would you/anyone else familiar with the area be able to list a few different areas that I should explore over the course of a day on foot?

  • Haven’t lived there in a while but I lived in Canton (before it was cool ;) ) that’s along the cowbridge rd also Pontcanna (when it was cool) that’s on the west of the city. About a mile from the centre.
    Chapter Arts centre used to be the hub of activity for me. Cinema, art,bar,evening classes, gigs

    I lived in Grangetown too which was ok but not sure you just wanna wander aimlessly around bits of that.
