Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Porthcawl

"Catch an opera performance at the bayside Millennium Centre, shop through the beautiful Edwardian arcades, taste craft brews at The Potted Pig, cheer on the rugby team at Principality Stadium, or take in works by Renoir, Monet, and Pissarro for free at the National Museum, which is home to the largest collection of Impressionist paintings outside of Paris. Cardiff Castle, meanwhile, is a prime example of the city’s patchwork of influences and cultures. Dating back to 55AD, it was originally a Roman fort that later became a Norman stronghold (the 11th-century Norman keep still stands and has one of the best views of Cardiff at its top). The rest of the castle, built in the 14th and 15th centuries, was completely redesigned in 1866, when a British aristocrat moved in to make it his private home."

"The Millennium Stadium is the national stadium of Wales, located in Cardiff. It is the home of the Wales national rugby union team and also frequently stages games of the Wales national football team, but is also host to many other large scale events, such as the Super Special Stage of Wales Rally Great Britain, Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain, boxing and many music concerts, including Tina Turner, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, U2, Stereophonics, and the Tsunami Relief concert. It was built to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup."

"Address: St. Mary's Square, Swansea, West Glamorgan, SA1 3LP, Wales, UK Tel: +44 (0)1792 655 489 Located in the city centre, St. Mary's Church is a noteworthy parish church and was first built at the beginning of the 14th century. However, following the collapse of the roof in the late 1730s, much of the church was completely rebuilt. Most of the church was demolished in the late 19th century and rebuilt once again."

"St Mary's is the mother church of Swansea, the city having grown around its church and castle, market and port over many centuries. The present building is the ..."

"Attached to the Fish & Field eatery which is run by two acclaimed local chefs, this small coffee shop is on the edge of Roath Park. Therefore, making it the perfect place to stop after a morning spent in the fresh air. Local families love it for its excellent coffee, ice cream, sandwiches and pastries."

"A funky, friendly hang-out serving melt-in-your-mouth pastries, thick sarnies, tasty nachos and fair-trade two-shot espresso that really packs a punch. The cafe's guitar, knitting and board games help keep the..."

"When looking for a city’s best budget eats, it always pays to make a beeline for the student enclaves, in this case Cathays, north of Cardiff city centre, which is home, to among others, the idiosyncratic Hogwurst. Ostensibly a homely, cluttered coffee shop lined with books and bric-a-brac, it serves jazzy porridge dishes and streaky bacon baps topped with crumbled hash brown in the mornings (how good does that sound?). Later – hence the name – it knocks-out high-quality hotdogs that use taut, snappy, flavoursome franks from Gloucester’s renowned Native Breeds and angelically light brioche rolls from Cardiff baker Allen’s."

"Hogwurst is an independent coffee house that also specialises in different gourmet hotdogs. They are located right in the city centre which makes it a great base to start your day in the city. Their menu is extremely different from the rest, it’s not your usual eggs on toast and some bacon."

"These aren't just any hot dogs, these are Hogwurst hot dogs. Get top notch comfort food at this independent restaurant at a very decent price. You can grab the classic hot dog complete with diced onions for £5.50 or sample the famous The Chilli Dog for £7.50."

"Bentleys Café on Wellfield road is holding its own again against a street full of hipster cafe venues. It manages to perfectly blend old school cafe vibes with modern decor and excellent service. Take a seat and have a proper cup of tea alongside toasties, omelettes, massive breakfasts and tasty avo on toast."
