As an ex RN person I was fascinated to see the HMS Llandaf ships bell there and as an ex personnel from the HMS Salisbury felt I was seeing a belated cousin ! Also seeing the Royal Welsh Regiments old battle colours (fan of film Zulu) was amazed what was inside the Cathedral relating to such a formidable British Regiment . Fantastic place to see for anyone interested in History or Religion .

What a spectacular place! The outside architecture is beautiful, as is the setting. Parts of the cathedral date from the 12th century, and they have a Celtic cross that is even older. A wonderful gentleman who volunteers there told us much of the history of the cathedral, including the ancient Celtic cross, and about the painting The Seed of David, a triptych painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The painting is on the left as you enter. Most stunning, though, is when you walk into the cathedral. From the outside, it's a very traditional Norman cathedral. But once inside, the main aisle has a large archway, on top of which sits a sculpture of Jesus, arms extended, entitled Christ in Majesty. It's very modern compared with the traditional church. At the time it was unveiled, in the 1950s, it was quite controversial. Llandaff Cathedral is definitely a must-see if you are interested in cathedrals and history!

Well worth a visit, an interesting place with the epstein statue which like marmite you will either love or hate. The guides are very helpful.

Cathedrals are some of my favourite places and Llandaff was an enjoyable visit. The Regimental Chapel is very nicely done and a lovely space to reflect in. The atmosphere of the nave was also lovely, pensive and majestic in an understated way - the modern addition is striking and at first I was appalled but on reflection think it is a very effective addition and makes Llandaff a unique and interesting Cathedral well worth a visit.

Quite a worthy visit to Llandaff Cathedral. You may go into the Cathedral to have a visit no matter what religion you belongs to actually. just a short walk down from the car park, you'll see graveyard on your right hand side and there's is a small entrance which the door is close. just push the door to open. After the visit, you may try chinese restaurant at the opposite road of the cathedral. It's called Summer Palace. They serve great and authentic foods.

The cathedral is absolutely stunning, the architecture is breathtaking and it is such a beautiful place to visit. Llandaff is also a lovely place with little shops and cafes to visit.

A truly impressive, really inspiring and, whatever your religiousbeliefs or lack of them, an undeniably "holy" ancient structure.Inside, the massive statue called 'Christ in Majesty' dominatesthe entire interior and adds gravitas and dignity.
