Myths and legends

The legends and myths of Wales are so numerous it would take years to tell all the stories. All the legends and myths have been told through the centuries by one generation to the next, and without question bits have been added to the stories, and some bits taken away. But what remains consistent is all the legends and myths have there base in history and fact. It is this history and fact that makes the stories so much a part of the Welsh culture, and gives it a proud and unique heritage to stand upon. It is here that we shall begin sharing snippets of this wondrous and magnificent oral and written tradition.

Transport in Cardiff

Transport in Cardiff, capital and most populous city in Wales involves road, rail, bus, water and air. Several factors have influenced the development of its transport network. It is a major city of the United Kingdom and a centre of employment, government, retail, business, culture, media, sport and higher education.

Welsh Assembly Government statistics for 2008/09 showed that Cardiff had the lowest percentage of the population who travelled to work by car, van or minibus, suggesting the highest public transport usage to work out of all 22 local authorities in Wales.

Between 2008 and 2009, car and taxi usage dropped from 59.7% to 52.3%, while walking was up by 1.4% to 18.3%. For bus usage, the figure had risen by 3% to 15.5% and cycling use increased from 1.6% to 7.4%. Train usage also rose from 3.8% to 4.7% over the same period.

Capital of Wales

Cardiff is declared a capital city

Long before Cardiff became the capital city of Wales it was a town surrounded by villages of close knit communities including Canton, Splott and Grangetown. The small port at Cardiff dealt only in local trade. Then came the industrial boom. Coal mined in the valleys was carried to the town, and the 'black diamonds' brought wealth and prosperity. By 1913, Cardiff was the greatest coal exporting port in the world, and fine buildings of the law courts, the City Hall and the National Museum of Wales shot up in Cathays Park. Cardiff was declared the capital city of Wales on 21 December 1955.
