Georgian House
Built in 1790 by William Paty for a merchant and sugar cane planter, the house was built of Bath stone in typical 18C style with a pedimented door and rooms decorated in the style of Robert Adam (1728-1792). The furniture includes a secretaire-bookcase (c. 1800), a mahogany desk and a long-case clock. Note the imposing Sheraton-style double secretaire bookcase dating from around 1800.

Llandaff Cathedral
Cardiff Cathedral was built between 1120 and 1280 and was named after the nearby river. The cathedral fell into decay after the Reformation and lost its medieval tower and roof in a storm in 1723. It was restored some time later but destroyed by a landmine in 1941. The chancel is now separated from the nave by a concrete arch embellished with some of the 19C figures from the choir stalls, and by a huge aluminium Christ in Majesty.

Heritage Centre
In the caves' Heritage Centre, the weapons, utensils made of flint, bone, antler horn and bronze, pottery and the skull of Cheddar Man indicate that the caves were inhabited intermittently from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age (20000 to 500 BC) and in Roman times.
