Description
One of my favorite locations in Cardiff has now gone forever. Since the withdrawal of HSTs, coal trains from Cwmbargoed stopping soon and less loco hauled services, days on the roof of Jacobs Antique are numbered!
However since their introduction of a cafe/garden, the rooftop is a good place to relax if you visit Cardiff. Always check their opening times
