In 2017, a large stage was constructed as part of the Champions League Festival, in the build up to the UEFA Champions League Final. DJ Steve Aoki headlined a free concert there the night before the final.

Cardiff Bay Barrage (Pass by)

Cardiff Bay Barrage took 7 years to build. In the 1990s, it was one of the largest civil engineering projects in Europe. At a cost of £120m the Barrage opened in 2001. Sitting on the mouth of the Severn Estuary, Cardiff experienced the same tidal ranges as the rest of the Severn Estuary, which are the 2nd highest in the world. This meant that when the tide went out, large mudflats were exposed. Cardiff was susceptible to flooding from tidal surges. The construction of the Barrage helped solve both these issues. First it stopped water going out with the tide, making the area more attractive, usable and likely to attract investment, whilst also protecting Cardiff from flooding by keeping tidal surges out.

The Barrage created a 2 square kilometre freshwater lake. Its construction started the regeneration of Cardiff Bay and Cardiff as a whole. Today the Barrage also provides a walk and cycle path linking Penarth and Cardiff.

Roath Park (Pass by)

Roath Park is a popular destination for families and joggers alike, located in the north of Cardiff. Covering a total of 130 acres. The park is split in two. Roath Park Lake, and Roath Park Recreation Ground, or Roath Park Rec.

The Northern part of the Park is known as Roath Park Lake, due to the lake that covers half of this part of the park and is 1.3 Miles around. Home to many water birds, such as Swans and Geese, the lake is also popular with anglers, and has rowing and pedal boats that can be hired.

Cathays Park - Cardiff Civic Centre (Pass by)

Cathays Park is Cardiffs Civic Centre, and contains many impressive and Listed Buildings. Formerly part of Cardiff Castle grounds, the land was purchased by Cardiff Council from the 3rd Marquess of Bute in 1898. The Marquess stipulated as a condition of the sale, that the land could only be used for civic, cultural and educational purposes, and the avenues were to be preserved.

Alexandra Gardens is one of 3 Gardens located within Cathays Park. It is the largest of the 3 and contains formal lawns, with island flowerbeds and trees. The Welsh National War Memorial, is in the centre of the park, and was unveiled in 1928. Since then a number of other smaller memorials have been added to the park including one for the Falklands and Spanish Civil Wars.

Pierhead Building (Pass by)

This distinctive red brick building in Cardiff Bay is Grade I listed and was built in 1897 by architect William Frame.
