Weekend Travel

If you are visiting the UK, you should definitely take some time to spend in Wales. Cardiff, the capitol city, is home to a beautiful castle (not to mention, there are tons elsewhere), and is significant to any Doctor Who fans. The countryside is gorgeous as well, with rolling hills where sheep graze.





If you're traveling from close enough, the best way to get there is by train, although you could take an airplane. Once there, the city is very walker friendly. Public transportation is available, as well. Touring the countryside is likely to be a bit of a hike, but it'd be a very beautiful one!

There are many hotels to stay the night in, if you wish. To name a few, the Ty Rosa Boutique Gay B&B, Gwaelod y Garth Inn, and Beaufort Guesthouse are all highly recommended. If you are looking to stay in a hostel, there are options in the area, too.

Of course, in a big city like Cardiff, there are many places to grab a bit to eat. There's Wok to Walk, Ty Mawr, Las Iguanas, Heron Marsh, and many more. The countryside would be an outstanding picnic location - how amazing would it be to pack a lunch and hike up one of those mountains?

When in the city, the castle is definitely the place to go. Visitors can look around and go on guided tours for a reasonable price. After a trip to the castle, you could go downtown and walk around, maybe do some shopping. Like I mentioned before, Cardiff is a big city. There's most anything there that you would expect a big city to have. Doctor Who fans would know the city as the location of the rift, and many episodes are set there. You could easily make a day out of visiting filming locations. The countryside, on the other hand, is just absolutely breathtaking. If you enjoy being outdoors it is a great place to go walk around.
