Alongside its great railway connections, the village also benefits from a good range of shops, perfect for picking up any essentials on a self-catered stay, as well as wide selection of eateries varying from traditional pubs to Indian takeaways, offering something for every taste. Explore the independent shops scattered around before taking a stroll through the picturesque Ivor Woods and along the River Ely.

Here you can find a wide range of attractions, with the most popular including a trip to its imposing Gothic castle, exploring its beautiful bay and the Cardiff Central Market where you can roam the dual-level Victorian structure houses showcasing a variety of traders, from fresh produce to homeware, tools and even records.
