by rail, 15-20mn from cardiff are newport, caerphilly, penarth and barry; up to 30mn will get you to bridgend, port talbot, pontypridd and chepstow; up to 60mn swansea, merthyr and bristol. cardiff central is within easy walking distance of the stadium - you might find it difficult to park on match days.

You may like to look at Porthcawl or Bridgend, it's only 25 mins by train from Bridgend, Porthcawl doesn't have a railway station, nearest one is Pyle, only a few miles away, but you can go by bus, it takes about 45 - 50 mins, but is very cheap, and you get to see a bit if the area, there is plenty of accomodation in Porthcawl, nice little seaside town!..........if you'd like some contact numbers just let me know!..............
