Originally known as the Welsh Folk Museum, it opened in 1948 and is the top heritage attraction in Wales."

"The Weston Museum offers a different view of Weston and what’s more it’s free to visit and interactive. Visitors can try on old-style clothes, they can even don a swimming cap like the one worn by the town’s four-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Paulo Radmilovic or the hat worn by Beatrice Page who became the first female tram driver in the country when she stepped up to the plate in the war years.

"Simultaneously flying the flag for both Cardiff’s coffee craze and it’s vinyl obsession is Outpost, inside indie urban market The Castle Emporium which as if the setting wasn’t hip enough, sells you old 45’s and coffee and sends someone to deliver it to you by bicycle. Not sure how that works, as every time I’ve tried to combine coffee and cycling I’ve failed miserably. Oh no wait it’s just the records they deliver, you’ll have to go into the Emporium for the drinks."
