Known as the ‘city within a city,’ Llandaff didn’t become a part of Wales’ capital until 1922. The county borough of Cardiff was extended to include Llandaff and it officially became part of the city – hence its ‘city within a city’ status.
But Llandaff has a history and character of its own that makes it stand out from other parts of Cardiff. Stepping onto the Cathedral Green, for instance, you would think that you were in the middle of a chocolate box village rather than part of a bustling capital city.*
