Cardiff Bay
Formerly called Tiger Bay, this was where the world's first million-pound cheque was signed and was the centre of the global coal industry in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1980s the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation was set up to redevelop the area and has since been transformed into a high profile area of living, shopping, dining and culture attractions, such as:
- Red Dragon Centre
- Mermaid Quay
- Wales Millennium Centre
- Senedd
- Techniquest
- The Coal Exchange
- St David's Hotel & Spa
- Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve
