Cardiff

On the way to the HF house at Brecon I stayed overnight at the Premier Inn in Cardiff to break the journey and make it more relaxing.

I traveled via Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil. I have put some pictures and description of this route on the web page here.

The Premier Inn in Cardiff is a very tall building so some rooms have good views:

Its not far from the station:

Cardiff Castle

You can walk though the centre of the castle grounds without paying but entrance to the building and castle walls requires a ticket.

About This Site

Here is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited.

The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost.

This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website.
