CARDIFF: Which is your favourite area?

I went vinyl record shopping today in a few different areas, and it reminded me that I much prefer the areas of Cardiff I went to as opposed to the monstrosity that is the city centre. Far more authentic, albeit suffering maybe from a lack of community and of course the recession.

So fellow forum members, which are your favourite parts of our capital city?

Adam, It use to be Roath Park and the lake, but its gone down hill of late.

I've had the fortune of living in some lovely areas of Cardiff including Lisvane and Cathays. I would love to live in either Radyr or Whitchurch.

Tremorfa

Cathays and Roath were lovely today without the students being there. No rubbish in the streets or anything!

Canton is also a favourite of mine.

However, I have a feeling that the areas are not a patch on what they used to be.

I love Canton, grew up there and is home to some of my happiest memories.

Stones throw away from town and where Ninian Park used to be.

Can't beat it!

Gabalfa estate is home for me, but worked in Whitchurch for 26 years. If I could afford a house there, Llandaff City takes some beating Or perhaps the area around Heath Park

Lisvane-top of the mountain past the ty mawr arms, so u can look at the whole of Cardiff!

Llanrumney. Loved the place.

city centre, canton or leckwith. dont really go any other parts.

I was born in Rumney, brought up in Llanrumney, massive estate where everyone knew their neighbours up to 20 houses either side of the road, im from Sedgemoor, used to love playing football and rugby against the other streets, Happy days, my parents still there too! Also soft spot for splott and tremorfa, loved the scene in pubs in Clifton area, esp the Royal Oak

I lived in Cyncoed for 13 yrs, to me that was a nice part!!

Quite a contrast as my Nan lived in Tremorfa!

Can't remember the name of it but there is a really nice village in the shadow of Castell Coch!!
Lovely little village!

have to say canton, not saying canton because i lived there for 13 years but for me it is unique and has everything you need and is close to town

Tremorfa is the place to be.

Tremorfa went down when the old airport pub closed down . still like going over there to play the buns in the baseball season

You old enough to remember the old Ocean Club on Rover Way Mozz? I used to love Rumney in the old days.

I remember when they had the pikey funeral there a few years before it closed - Absolute madness!

of course SBF 1

saw a few bands over there in my day !

rumney hasn't changed that much in the last 30 years apart from the carpenter arms and the potters wheel which have been bulldozed down . flats have been erected on the old potters wheel and now a sainsburys where once the carps stood . you must be missing home

rumney boys we are here woah
