Getting Around Cardiff



Walk: Walking from Plas Gwyn. Walking to campus is a free, easy and quick way to get from the the Halls of Residence, which are located in close proximity to our campuses. Buddy up with some of your household to match timetables and walk together.

Take a look at the walk from Plas Gwyn to Llandaff Campus:


Cardiff is a great city to cycle in and Cardiff Met won the Most Cycle Friendly Business award at the 2019 Cardiff Cycling Awards. There are dry cycle stores you can access with your MetCard, maintenance stands, tools, lockers, showers and even cycle paths available on and around our campuses. Llandaff has dedicated facilities that are situated at the rear of the School of Art & Design. At Cyncoed, facilities are located at the Tennis Centre.

Buddy up at 8:30am outside Plas Gwyn or Unite Receptions to ride together to Llandaff Campus in the Cardiff Met cycle convoy!

Catch the 52 service to get onto the Cyncoed Campus. It drops off in front of the main building and runs every 20 minutes.

Catch the 1 service or 2 service that stop immediately outside Llandaff Campus or the 25 service which stops a few minutes’ walk away at either Howells School or Llandaff Village.

Traveline Cymru is great to use to see how to get to campus.

Another option is to catch a taxi or an Uber to your campus and share the cost among your household. An Uber from Roath/Cathays to Llandaff Campus or Cyncoed Campus is about £8 each way.
