Getting around
My place is ten minutes' drive to Cardiff city centre. Alternatively if using public transport, it's less than ten minutes walk to Dingle Road train station which has regular trains to the centre and 15 minutes to Cogan (both 10 minutes train ride to Cardiff). An Uber is around 10-15 pounds.
Cardiff Bay with its bars and restaurants is a short drive away, as is the International Sports Village.
Penarth town centre and marina are both within ten minutes walk. Penarth seafront and its Victorian pier and access to the Wales coastal path is a 20 minute walk.
