Cardiff, the Capital of Wales is one of the UK’s most
popular visitor destinations. It’s known for its cultural,
sporting, artistic and maritime traditions and we are
delighted that more and more people are discovering our city
and its waterfront.
Cardiff Bay, the
Barrage, Inner and Outer Harbours and parts of the Rivers
Taff and Ely are all successfully managed by Cardiff Harbour
Authority as part of Cardiff Council.
From Easter
onwards the Harbour Authority delivers an exciting calendar
of local, national and international water and land based
events for visitors and residents of Cardiff to enjoy. With
a diverse mix of internationally acclaimed visitor
attractions, activities and entertainment, Cardiff Bay has a
truly unique atmosphere. Please visit the
forthcoming events page or
latest news sections for further
details.
The Bay continues to attract boat users,
with two well established yacht clubs, two marinas and
several commercial marine-related businesses. There are over
1000 resident vessels moored in the Bay and this figure is
rising year on year. In addition, a number of berths are
available for visiting boats, enabling our maritime visitors
to experience the city’s many attractions not to mention the
warm welsh welcome of our cosmopolitan capital.
The Bay continues to thrive and in 2006 the International Sports Village
site commenced construction. The new ice rink, retail
developments and international sized swimming pool are now
open, and an Olympic-standard canoe
slalom facility and other major waterfront
developments are planned.
The Cardiff
Bay Water Activity Centre which was opened in 2005 also
offers a full programme of water sports activities and
courses throughout the year and is well worth a visit.

Along with fantastic restaurants and
bars in the Inner Harbour, and the Barrage offering great
walks and fantastic views of the Bay, there has never been a
better time to visit Cardiff Bay.
We look forward to
welcoming you to Cardiff Bay in 2008.
Councillor
Rodney Berman
