Cardiff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cardiff is bordered to the West by the fertile plains of the Vale of Glamorgan, to the east by the City of Newport, to the North by the South Wales Valleys and to the south by the Bristol Channel. |
| | The industrial development and growth of Cardiff was initially centred on the transportation of coal, where coal mined from the Rhondda Valley was sent to the port by barge along the valley of the River Taff, initially by canal and later by the Taff Vale Railway. |
| | Cardiff's centre is a particularly green one with Bute Park, formerly the castle grounds, extending northwards from the top of the Cardiff's main shopping street (Queen Street); when combined with the adjacent Llandaff Fields to the northwest it produces a massive open space skirting the river Taff. |
