Top 10 Must-Dos
1. Eat fresh Welsh cake (you’ll soon be importing them for all your friends)
2. Go to a rugby match at Millennium Stadium (there’s nothing so atmospheric as the whole city closed off for this game – the camaraderie between teams is amazing)
3. Buy some laverbread at Cardiff markets and fry up with bacon for breakfast
4. You will shed a tear when you hear about the children left in the dark for hours at a time in the Big Pit – a must for Welsh history
5. Every Roald Dahl fan will love the Norwegian church where the creator of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was christened
6. Sample true Welsh Croeso (welcome) in any one of their pubs with a pint of Felin Foel (some pronounce it Feeling Foul but not the true Welsh speakers)
7. Strut your stuff with the peacocks in Bute Park, part of the grounds of the ultimate fairytale castle – Cardiff Castle
8. Purchase the latest from the hippest Welsh designer Julian Mcdonald, designer of more than just BA uniforms
9. No trip to Wales is complete with at least a dip in the practice bog at the World Bog Snorkelling Championships – it does wonders for the complexion
10. Visit the railway station for a test of your linguistic skills – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
