Glamorgan Archives is located on Clos Parc Morgannwg, off Sloper Road in Leckwith, Cardiff. As both our road and postcode are new, they do not always appear correctly on sat-nav systems or online maps. However, if you use the postcode CF11 8AB, this should get you to the end of Clos Parc Morgannwg. A handy landmark is the new Cardiff City Stadium – if you can see that, you can’t be far away as we’re right next door. We’re also adjacent to the Capital Retail Park, although there is no direct access from our site to the shops.
Find transport to us using Traveline Cymru, National Rail Enquiries, Arriva Trains Wales, Cardiff Bus. Traffic News and Cameras are available from the BBC
Travelling by Train
From Cardiff Central catch the train either to Grangetown or Ninian Park. Grangetown is on the Penarth line and Ninian Park is on the City Link in the direction of Radyr. Trains to Radyr leave every half hour, trains to Grangetown leave every 8-10 minutes.
If you are travelling in from the North of Cardiff you can alight at Radyr and take any train heading for Coryton on the City Link, which will travel through Ninian Park on the way to Cardiff Central. Trains on the City Link run approximately every half an hour.
Travelling by Bus
From Cardiff Central Bus Station you can catch the service Number 1 or 2. These are city circle bus routes and you should try to catch the Number 1 to travel to the office and the number 2 to get back. Both these services stop at the closest bus stop to the Archives, and run twice an hour. Alternatively service numbers 92, 93, 94 and 95 all stop at the ends of Sloper Road and are no more than a 10 minute walk from the Glamorgan Archives.
