    Mix with the local at the famous local market, The new 4 acre site includes 2 acres under cover so that no matter what the weather the show goes on! This new site also has nearby parking facilities for 650 cars giving our customers easy access to the market. In 1999 the market has grown to over 400 stalls

  • Name of Shop: Cardiff indoor Market

    This large Victorian indoor market was built in 1891 and serves up a bizarre range of goods including cheese, fish, pets, electronics, secondhand records and laver bread, a local favourite made from seaweed.

  • Apparently, Cardiff is known as the 'City of Arcades' and there's a network of excellent Victorian arcades dating back a century or more.

    The main arcades can be reached from St Johns Street, High St, Duke St or St Mary Street. Each arcade is home to an array of independent shops offering bits ‘n’ bobs for the home and top-notch fashion. Cool.

    Check out the High Street and Duke Street arcades for a fetish fumble

    Cross the road and head down the Castle Arcade.
    If you’re still standing at this point, walk back to St Mary Street and towards the bus station to find the Morgan and Royal Arcades. .

    Go back out onto St Mary Street and turn left into the Royal Arcade. .

    Other arcades not to be missed out are the Oxford Arcade off the Hayes and the Dominions and Andrews Arcades off Queen Street. Shop ‘til you drop.

     Great tips and photos! Wales in general, and Cardiff in particular, look wonderful. Only thing missing on your page is info about Tom Jones. She's a lady ... wo, wo, wo ... she's a lady! Gotta love Tommy! Best from NJ, Bill
