Cardiff Bay


Before the barrage was built, this area was subject to one of the highest tidal flows in the world, leaving nutritious but unattractive, smelly mudflats for a large part of each day. Not an ideal location to live or even spend much time, unless you were a birdwatcher or a fisherman. The birdwatchers have now moved further along the coast to the Newport Wetlands, and the fishermen take their chance where they can.
The golden Millennium Centre 


The area has taken on a continental feel.  Cafes have outside seating areas, ideal for people-watching. Walkways with pleasant views of the bay, provide a reason to visit. Altogether an attractive space with high-value properties.


Home to the Senedd, the Millennium Centre, Harry Ramsden's Fish Bar and the Dr Who Experience, Cardiff Bay now has appeal for everyone.

The barrage itself as well as a place for sightseers, is a regular haunt of the jogger, the business man/woman on lunch break, the dog-walker and cyclist.
