Outside the city centre, Cardiff divides into a range of small suburbs, villages and even cities! Pontcanna, Roath, Canton, Whitchurch and the city of Llandaff have small local high streets which offer convenience but also independent small shops and boutiques.

A little further from the city centre you’ll find larger out of town retail parks at Newport Road, Leckwith, Culverhouse Cross, and Cardiff Gate.

Cross into the Vale of Glamorgan for towns and villages packed full of charm and character, with shops to match. You'll find small independent and boutique stores, as well as great places to buy Welsh gifts and produce.

Known as the ‘Bond Street’ of South Wales, Cowbridge is an attractive place to visit and a fantastic place to shop with a diversity and choice generally unexpected of a small town. Many traditionally run family businesses and new enterprises combine to create a unique mix of traditional and modern, offering an unrivalled level of expertise and service. 

Just a few miles west of Cardiff , Penarth has been a magnet for holiday makers and day visitors for more than a century. Its Victorian and Edwardian founders created a resort of great elegance and beauty and their legacy is an attractive, bustling town of charm and character. Penarth boasts many unique family owned shops priding themselves on personal service, where you can find art and antiques, accessories, jewellery, fashions and foods.
