Cardiff - Wales Virtual Tour (745 words)
Cardiff , located on the banks of the River Taff, is the capital and largest city (320,000+ inhabitants) of Wales . Cardiff's most famous citizen was the wealthy second Marquess of Bute, who, in 1839, built Cardiff's docks to export the coal mined from his father's valley lands.
