Delighted to spend the weekend with a choir, singing three services over Saturday and Sunday. Our first visit to Llandaff, and we received very warm welcomes from the clergy, virger and the community. It is located in a valley by the River Taff, and reached by quite a steep pathway or stairs. The first Cathedral, known as the Little Minster, was erected in 546, and in the years since, it has been built, fallen into disrepair, suffered storm damage, and enemy action, being gradually restored from 1942 and completed and reopened in 1958. It is the mother church of the Diocese and seat of the Bishop. In 2010 the new organ was installed, the largest wholly new British built instrument to be installed in a UK cathedral for 50 years. There is a small gift shop, and a maze of corridors, side chapels and vestries, well worth exploring.

Just had a call from my eldest brother who lives in Cardiff and loves exploring places ,And he's visiting Llandaff cathedral and grounds today, And I'm not very happy with the way the commonwealth grave yard/soldiers off wars resting places are being kept when they have spent millions on restoring the cathedral and the part where a bomb had gone off, and just left this part to become over grown and in disrepair, my brother didn't even know if he was walking across these soldiers grave sites, I mean really how long has remembrance Sunday BEEN 11th NOVEMBER ,And children of this day an age are meant to have respect for the generation whom battled and still are to this day for this country and this is how they are remembered because they were buried in the commonwealth grave yard owed and supposed to be looked after by CARDIFF CITY COUNCIL ,I absolutely am disgusted with this and I Will be emailing CARDIFF CITY HALL.

As soon as you step into the premises of the cathedral, you'll feel like you have stepped into the ancient times. The cathedral has some graves that are from the 18th century and many more things that will blow your mind if you think about it. It is beautiful from the outside and has an amazing construction all over. Similarly, on the inside it is quiet and peaceful too. If you don't go at the time of the choir practice then you can freely click photos as well otherwise you will have to wait until the completion of the prayers. Much recommended to visit this place.

This place was a real surprise. In the outskirts of Cardiff and almost hidden away. If you park in the top car park and descend to the entrance the beautiful architecture gradually reveals itself to you. Inside is a real treat. Medieval and modern combines to delight. There are many ancient tombs to examine. Entrance is free but donations are welcome. The ruins and garden of the Bishop's Palace are also worth a look on the way back to the car park.

Great place to visit if you want to experience history. Old meeting new (traditionally placed altar with side benches for the most prominent members of the congregation transitioned into modern church setting with the priest facing the brethren). If you go off the side cemetery, you will find the old one that has not been maintained - the nature reclaiming the burial grounds, in a sense closing the cycle of earthly existence...

One of the nicest cathedrals we have ever visited. The Epstein Christ is awesome. Also the Welch regiment Chapel is moving and interesting. The welcome we received from the volunteer was warm and friendly. Lovely village too. The car park (turning opposite Spar) gives 2 hours free parking. Enter the reg number and receive the free parking ticket but do not overstay.£100 fine! Burne Jones panels delightful too.
