Travelling to Cardiff by coach or train

The Glamorgan Record Office is a short Taxi ride (10 mins) or a 20-25 minute walk from Cardiff Central train station and the coach/bus station (which are next door to each other). Taxis are located outside the main entrance to the train station (turn right as you enter the main foyer from the platform, and proceed through the sliding doors at the far end of the foyer). To walk from Cardiff Central the best route is to exit onto Central Square, taking the right hand side of the pedestrian area to Wood Street. Then proceed along St Mary Street to High Street. Then turn right onto Duke Street, and follow the road around to Kingsway, past the Castle Gate Building. Then bear right past the Hilton Hotel/Razzi Bar towards the pedestrian crossing. Cross over Greyfriars Road and take the underpass which will bring you out by City Hall. The road to the left (King Edward VII Avenue) will take you past The Crown Court, Police Station and University Registry, and will lead you to the Glamorgan Building. Access to the Record Office is along the left-hand side of the building; the door to the office is near the back of the building

Travelling to Cardiff by Car

Approach Cardiff from the M4/A48 and exit the A48 at the Gabalfa interchange. There is Pay-and-Display parking around Cathays Park. These spaces are always in demand so it may take you some time to find a space. There is also a Pay-and-Display car park off North Road which can be accessed as you drive to the City Centre along the A470/North Road (see map above).
