From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cardiff is the capital city of Wales, in Great Britain. Its name in the Welsh language is Caerdydd. It is located in the county of Glamorgan.
Cardiff has a port that used to be known as Tiger Bay, now just called Cardiff Bay, where the Welsh government works. Cardiff has an airport, and is twinned with Nantes in Brittany, France and Stuttgart in Germany. Cardiff has the largest stadium in British Isles, the Millenium Stadium, where important sports matches happen.
Cardiff stands at the mouths of three rivers - the Taff (after which Cardiff is named), the Ely and the Rhymney.
Part of Cardiff is built on reclaimed marshland
