Gay Cardiff

Cardiff is the Capital of Wales and best know for its castle Cardiff Castle, and hosting the 1999 rugby world cup. It's a very friendly, tight community city. One of my favourite's and just 45 minutes from Bristol. The cute welsh accent from the local valley boys is a sure turn on, that is if you can understand what they’re saying! Here are some reviews and photo galleries from past events…
