Activity itinerary

Norwegian Church Arts Centre (Pass by)

Spot this charming white-painted wooden church, built in 1868 to serve the Norwegian sailors who once flooded Cardiff's bustling docks. Step inside to discover how this beloved landmark became the birthplace of one of the world's most famous storytellers — Roald Dahl, who was baptised here.

Senedd (Pass by)

Marvel at this striking glass and slate building, home to the Welsh Parliament since 2006. Explore how the laws that shape life in Wales are debated and decided right here — and discover what power you hold as a visitor to influence them.

Cardiff Bay (Pass by)

Gaze out across the gleaming waters of Cardiff Bay, once one of the busiest coal-exporting ports in the entire world. Walk in the footsteps of homesick sailors, bold explorers, and hardworking miners whose stories are woven into every cobblestone along this shore.

Mermaid Quay (Pass by)

Stroll along this lively waterfront promenade, where the echoes of Cardiff's seafaring past drift between modern restaurants and shops. Keep your eyes open for clues to the mythical creatures and colourful characters said to haunt these historic quayside waters.

Wales Millennium Centre (Pass by)

Admire the monumental bronze steel façade of this iconic arts venue, etched with soaring lines of poetry in both Welsh and English. Enjoy the bold fusion of industrial heritage and creative ambition that makes this landmark one of Cardiff's most photographed sights.

Roald Dahl Plass (Pass by)

Pass through this sweeping elliptical plaza, named in honour of Cardiff's most celebrated literary son. Listen for the stories of the Norwegian sailors who once gathered here, far from home, dreaming of distant fjords.

Torchwood Tower by William Pye - Cardiff Bay Art Trail (Pass by)

Discover this mesmerising sculptural water feature, where sheets of water cascade in perfectly calm, glass-like flow. Pause to take in how this elegant piece transforms a simple element into something quietly magical along the Bay's celebrated art trail.
