Everything Else
The Bay has A LOT going on for visitors. If you like Dr Who, that's where you'll find the iconic Dr Who exhibition (and Torchwood Tower).
It's also home to our national Opera, which is housed in the beautiful Wales Millennium Centre.
Packed with restaurants and bars, and fantastic scenery the bay is *such* a good place to explore. You can walk your lunch off by strolling over the barrage to Penarth, or enjoy tea in the iconic Senedd building, the National Assembly for Wales' home.
