River Taff corridor
The Taff winds through the city alongside Bute Park, a continuous ribbon of water and green from the northern suburbs down to the bay, the backbone of the map.

The map
About this Cardiff map poster
Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is organised by its rivers. The Taff runs through the middle of the city from north to south, passing Cardiff Castle and the long green corridor of Bute Park before reaching the bay. The Ely lies to the west and the Rhymney to the east, framing the urban area.
In the nineteenth century Cardiff became one of the world's busiest coal-exporting ports, and its docklands grew accordingly. The barrage completed in 1999 turned the tidal mudflats into a freshwater bay, now lined with offices, the Senedd and the Wales Millennium Centre. The Principality Stadium stands on the riverbank in the centre.
A Cardiff map poster shows all of that in a single sweep: the castle and parkland in the centre, Victorian terraces in tight rows across Roath, Canton and Cathays, and the open water of the bay holding the southern edge.

Cardiff Bay
The barrage-enclosed bay forms a broad open space at the bottom of the map, with the old dock basins and new waterfront streets arranged around it.
Terraced streets
Neighbourhoods such as Roath, Cathays and Canton are packed with parallel rows of Victorian terraces, creating a fine, regular pattern that fills much of the city.

Why Cardiff
A map that means something
