The first competitive game was played at Wentloog Marshes on 2nd December that year. The first home game was played at Sophia Gardens, but the club soon relocated to its famous ground at Cardiff Arms Park which was named after the local Cardiff Arms public house and on the grounds of the old Cardiff Hotel. Cardiff's iconic home was soon to be shared by Wales, who staged internationals on the ground from 12th April, 1884 until 15th March,1997.

    Cardiff Castle Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017 MONDAY 08 MAY 2017 We will meet at Cardiff railway station at 13.00 (Royal Academy representatives will wait for the train arriving from London Paddington at 12.52). Our local coach will be waiting for us and after loading our luggage we will travel a short distance to Le Bistrot Pierre where lunch will be taken. This afternoon will begin with a visit to Llandaff Cathedral for an art and architecture guided tour focusing on the Cathedral’s intriguing mix of Norman, Early Gothic and modern architecture, and the wonderful Pre-Raphaelite art, Victorian and modern windows, with artist’s such as Rosetti, Burne Jones, Piper and Madox Brown represented. Located in the ancient “City of Llandaff”, now a suburb or Cardiff, the present cathedral dates from 1107 when Bishop Urban, the first Bishop appointed by the Normans, instigated the building of a much larger church, there already being an edifice on the site. The Cathedral was extended and widened and a new West front built in around 1220; the front is judged by many to be one of the two or three most notable mediaeval works of art and architecture in Wales. For over 200 years following the reign of King Henry VIII the building fell into a state of near-ruin, however, in the early 19th century, growing prosperity in the Diocese made possible a fresh restoration undertaken by J F Seddon and John Pritchard. Following our visit we will rejoin our coach for the short housing the debating chamber and three committee rooms for journey to the 4 star New House Country Hotel, where the National Assembly for Wales and also known as the we will check in for 4 nights’ accommodation.
