I went down their about 3 years ago (just before I found out the ex had been cheating on me behind my back, nice girl, hmmmm
, she lived in Porthcawl near the seafront, but they apparently like to still class it as Bridgend????). She took me round and showed me a few places, a little pub on one of the estates nearby was alright, cheap beer
. But the area (Porthcawl and Bridgend) were fairly desolate places and not where I'd like to spend most of my time.
If I'd have known I'd have popped in, I really liked Cardiff, I've been there twice, 1st was to see Crystal Palace Vs West Ham play-off the other time was with she who must not be named
I parked in the local leisure centre car park for free
and walked to the local weatherspoons, then visited the underground shopping bit where Dr Who was filmed and then went to the arcade (where you walk ove the little studs that mark the graves) and wandered round the tatto parlours and collectible shops). Great day out really, no medal shops though
ATB,
