Peter Finch’s hugely popular alternative guide to the capital of Wales: "One of the best books I have ever read about a city." Jan Morris.

Peter Finch discovers the real Cardiff - lost rivers, itinerant poets, the old race courses, the revitalised city centre, the redeveloped Cardiff Bay - as he travels the city from east to west and north to south. This is offbeat topographical writing, guaranteed to enthrall the native, the visitor and the armchair traveller alike.
