@createstreets Cardiff has got the mix just right - lots of variety. High end boutiques, artisan food and kwerky specialist. Each arcade has its own vibe, well lite and well maintained.

Have you seen the Mari Lwyd out and about?

The Mari Lwyd was once a lively tradition of welcoming the Welsh Hen Galan (or 'the old new year') and has been resurrected in some parts of Wales.

The Mari Lwyd - a horse's skull - was carried on a pole and decorated with rosettes and coloured ribbons. During the ceremony, the Mari Lwyd party would go from door to door, singing traditional songs in an attempt to gain entry into the house.

Learn more about the Mari Lwyd in this article on our website.

@hellohistoria Update required 👀

[Heritage Hiker @HeritageHiker]

A sad day for #heritage in #Caerphilly as Llancaiach Fawr Manor, a well loved and visited Tudor Manor House is set to close its doors for the final time later today.

With no plans in place for its future let’s hope it doesn’t become yet another lost piece of #Welsh heritage.

#OnThisDay 1990. Mardy colliery, the last pit in the Rhondda Valley, closes.

The final 300 miners had their last shift on 21 December 1990 in a valley which had previously employed more than 4,000 men.
