Top 10 Things to do in Cathays, Wales
The Welsh capital may have begun its life as a Roman fort, but it's since become a bustling city. Where the fort once stood, Cardiff Castle has held court since the 11th century. It remains a central presence in the city, now full of lively art and music venues, hip boutiques, fun bars and modern hotels. Even with so many new and exciting things to see, the National History Museum is still the most visited attraction in Wales. Don't be the only visitor who plays hooky!

Reviewed By FJB1985 - Burton upon Trent, United Kingdom
I felt very welcomed as soon as I walked in by the two gentleman who work in this shop. One of the gentleman, Bob, was extremely knowledgable on the origins and history of the love Spoons which I found fascinating. He definitely knew his craft. The other gentleman who's name I did not get was also very friendly and chatty, especially as we both come from the same area. I could tell instantly that they both had a passion for their work. If you want a nice hand crafted Welsh souvenir I highly recommend this shop as it has something special to offer.
