Llandaff

A city within a city. Llandaff has a cathedral and yet is only a couple of miles along green walkways heading north from Cardiff City centre. It is in a 'genteel' area with many fine houses and gardens, popular with University Professors and Broadcasting Executives who work at the BBC which is 'just round the corner'.

My wife is a keen gardener so we went along to take a look.....

A fairly substantial water feature in just one part of this large, well established garden.

Llandaff Cathedral was badly damaged by bombing in the second world war. Many years of painstaking restoration are now complete and it is well worth a look if you are in the Cardiff area. So take a look at...
