Introduction

Cardiff Bay is the regenerated waterfront of the old docklands, gathering the Welsh Parliament (Senedd), the Wales Millennium Centre and riverside dining. Promenades, water and festivals link together — both a citizen's backyard and the liveliest sample of contemporary Welsh cultural identity. At night water and lights mingle, and the bay grows gentle.
