Cardiff - Church of St John
In Cardiff city centre, off the M4. This church has a 130-ft Perpendicular tower and a Jacobean monument in the Lady Chapel.

Crick - Runston Chapel
A48 to Crick, then minor road. Cadw. Small ruined chapel.

Llandaff - Llandaff Cathedral
Founded by Bishop Urban in 1107, but most of the choir, nave, and west front date from the following century. In 1500 the north west tower was built by Jasper Tudor, uncle to Henry VII. Much later work is the result of restorations in Victorian times. The interior of the church is dominated, perhaps overwhelmed, by a huge modern bridge bearing Christ aloft, the work of Sir Jacob Epstein.

Llandaff - St Mary
At Llandaff, six miles west of Cardiff. Refurbished 600-year-old medieval church.

Llanmaes - St Cattwg (St Cadoc)

Llanmihangel - St Michael
At Llanmihangel, off B4270 near Llantwit Major. Sited by Tudor manor house in farmland. No electricity. Dates from 13th century with Norman foundation. 18th century silver chalice belongs to the church.
