Local TV

Although the sun hasn’t come through like it promised, we’re asking people what they’d be up to if the sun was shining on the capital.

00:00It's nothing better than sitting outside down there, having a beer and just watching the

00:06world go by. You know, that's why everyone's pastime is ours, isn't it?

00:09It's ours, definitely. Yeah.

00:13Plenty of people all across South Wales would have woken up, seen beautiful sunny skies

00:18and thought, it's the summer holidays. Let's go out and make the most of it.

00:22Obviously, the sunny skies didn't quite stay for very long, but they're still warm, largely

00:26dry. So I'm here in Cardiff Bay asking people about their favourite things to do in Cardiff

00:30if it was a sunny day today. We've got so many parks and sites to visit, places like Cardiff

00:36Bay, Barry Island and even the city centre is a great place in the sun. So what are people's

00:40top spots when the sun is out in the capital? Yeah, it's our second day here now and it's

00:44all out along past Tiger Yard and everything yesterday and up towards the shopping centre

00:49and yeah, it's been lovely. It's so much to see around here and so much history as well,

00:53which is nice. Sometimes we come down here on a weekend if there's something on or most

00:57of the time we go into town and just have a wander around town, but this on our doorstep

01:02is amazing. Amazing.

01:06Cardiff's the kind of place people flock to, go out on day trips to and holiday around.

01:10A few people I spoke to aren't from Cardiff, but they're spending their summer here in the

01:14city, taking in all the sights of the capital.

01:16Well, we're down here on holiday. It is really lovely today. We've been to the Science Museum

01:21and we've had a great time. It took hours and there's lots of interaction for kids and

01:25that. It was brilliant. Well worth the visit. Well worth.

01:29Yeah, if it's sunny, yeah. You can go for a walk and stuff. Food. Yeah.

01:37Well, to be honest, it's actually my birthday today, isn't it?

01:40Yeah. We live in Abergavenny and we thought we haven't actually just come down and had a

01:44day out in Cardiff. So we brought a water taxi down, didn't we?

01:4861 years of living in Wales. We've never done a water taxi from the city, from the castle

01:53down here. We're going to go on the open top bus.

01:56Yeah.

01:57Be a real tourist in Cardiff, even though we're born and bred in Wales.

02:00We're going to Barry Island.

02:02We are.

02:02We're going to the castle tomorrow.

02:04We are.

02:05And shopping, yeah.

02:06Shopping. You've got some designer outlet or something. So we're going there.

02:10Just have a look around, really. Just take it all in. See what we find.

02:14The one by the castle is nice. I forgot what it's called.

02:17That's Butte Park.

02:17Butte Park, yeah. That's a nice one. I'd go there quite a lot. There.

02:23You've got Barry Island to go to.

02:24St. Fagans.

02:25Of course, St. Fagans. St. Fagans Castle. That's really good.

02:28So, yeah, there's loads and loads of places to go. Absolutely amazing place.

02:32Yeah.

02:33Amazing.

02:35Cardiff has some fantastic, unique assets, too. The TAF runs right through the centre

02:39and leads here to Cardiff Bay, one of people's favourites.

02:42And there's plenty of fun ways to get here, too.

02:46I don't know. I'll just go for a walk anywhere, really.

02:49Maybe go on a boat trip.

02:53Up the river or something. I don't know.

02:55Maybe feel like food. Food's a good one.

02:57Go on a boat.

02:57Please do.

02:58Good morning, dear.

02:58Good morning.
