Travelling to Cardiff<br />
Cardiff, Europe’s youngest capital, is situated in South Wales and is easy to reach<br />
from anywhere in the UK. Just two hours away from the centre <strong>of</strong> London by<br />
rail or road and two and a half hours’ drive away from Heathrow, Cardiff is<br />
accessible whether you plan to get here by car, plane or train.<br />
Arriving by car:<br />
Cardiff is right on the national motorway system, with the M4 running through<br />
the north <strong>of</strong> the city, making London a comfortable drive away.<br />
From the Midlands, the North <strong>of</strong> England and Scotland it is a straightforward<br />
drive via the M6, M5 and M50/M4. From the South and South West <strong>of</strong> England<br />
the approach is by M5 and M4. Access from West Wales is by M4. If you enter<br />
Wales via the M4 Second Severn Crossing or the M48 Severn Bridge you will<br />
need to pay a toll. The Severn Crossing toll for cars entering Wales is £6 (please<br />
note that it is not possible to pay by card).<br />
Arriving by air:<br />
Cardiff is served by its own international airport with regular direct flights from<br />
the UK, located 12 miles west <strong>of</strong> Cardiff city centre, and just 10 miles from<br />
Junction 33.<br />
Arriving by rail:<br />
High-speed InterCity trains link most cities around the country with Cardiff. The<br />
journey time from London Paddington to Cardiff is just over two hours and<br />
trains depart every 30 minutes during the day. You will arrive at Cardiff's Central<br />
Train Station, Wales' busiest train station. The Grade II listed building is in the<br />
centre <strong>of</strong> Cardiff and is minutes away from the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff's<br />
major shopping areas and hotels.<br />
