There's a few sporting shops that have carved out a little enclave for themselves on Whitchurch…read moreRoad, and this one has to be my favourite. It is a really large outlet that is incredibly well stocked, with all manner of gear. You can even buy archery equipment here!!! (Not that this is what I come here for... I'm lethal enough without needing to resort to using something like a bow and arrow! My car is the only potentially dangerous piece of machinery that I'll allow myself to use... I give everything else a wide birth!) My needs that Cardiff Sportsgear meets are of a much more mundane variety. I come here for my swim suits, as I tend to call in at RatRigs, the surf shop just down the road, whilst I'm about it.. (RatRigs have a sale on a the moment, and so I called into both last week to scoop up a couple of bargains. Sadly, Cardiff Sportsgear didn't have what I was looking for in my size on this occasion, (a Speedo with long legs, like the type of suit that competitive swimmers wear... something that is proving nigh on impossible to find)... The staff were really helpful, and said that if I knew exactly what I wanted, then they would happily order it for me. Great service!

Wowee! Whatever sport you're into you will undoubtedly be incredibly impressed by Cardiff…read moreSportsgear. They offer: racquets, cricket gear, pool table, gym equipment, riding helmets, wetsuits, and so much more! Whenever I come in here with friends we like to play a game of how many sports we can count (at least 25 last count). The staff are all incredibly friendly and know their stock well (surprising considering how big this place is). The only thing they don't have much in the way of is, gym clothes, which is ironically the only thing I need.

Independent Sports shops are always a gift and a curse. Gift, because they stock specialist…read moreequipment your not going to find in any of the chains round Cardiff. So your into archery? Yep got that, Need a cup for your 'precious'? Yep, you get the point. What's bad is that they are going to be more expensive here unfortunately. Under armour etc seem to have that extra little kick to their already over priced tags that makes me go elsewhere for my essentials. But as said, if you are looking for something more specific this would be the best place to start.

Despite its mildly humorous name, Tony's Tackle is a great place to go if you're avid angler or a…read morefan of fishing. Caerphilly Castle is a hot spot for fishermen and frequently attracts people from all around to its fish filled castle moat. Tony's Tackle not only provides the licenses to permit fishing in the moat, it also offers a variety of useful equipment, tools and accessories. From bait to hooks and everything in between, Tony's Tackle offers everything an angler could want on a fishing trip...except the fish, of course; they leave that bit up to you. Tony's caters for all levels of fishing experience, with learning rods and basics for the beginner, to more speciality goods for the pros who know exactly what their looking for. In a prime location, right opposite Caerphilly Castle, Tony's Tackle is well worth a browse...probably not the best choice of wording, but you get the idea...

This is a real shop for outdoor stuff. Not a shop that has fashion stuff under the guise of a…read morespurious sport. In Cotswold you can get proper walking boots, real fell-running shoes, those ropey things that climbers use (you may guess that I'm not a climber), proper real coats, tents, hats... you get the idea. There's also gadgets like tripods for attaching to jungle branches and ways of finding your way in the desert. The staff know what Gortex and gaiters are. Not sure why it's called Cotswold as the stuff in here seems designed for ground that's a lot more challenging and rugged than the tame Cotswolds.
