Recently I went in to ask about options for travelling around USA, Canada and Alaska (they don't think of themselves as the USA, so I won't either). The staff member I spoke to was extremely well informed, although he admitted that he had not himself been to these places. He was very considerate and really listened to me before making suggestions. I always come out of this place feeling like they have created a holiday just for me, rather than persuaded me to do something I'd not really wanted to do (as has happened before with other agencies *cough* Thompson's *cough*). STA specialise in travel for students and young people, meaning that they have a great range and knowledge of backpacking and lower budget tours, travel and accommodation. I'm not quite sure what I'll do when I grow up and can't really use their services any more.

Wonderful and helpful staff…read more I have been booking flights with STA travel in Cardiff and have been always amazed by their dedication to satisfy their customers. Many times I tried to book a flight though online with other agencies, but always have been disappointed, but STA travel is a brilliant agency to arrange your holidays and flights, as staff will try and help you to find a good, comfortable and cheap flights.

Adrian was our guide today and we had a great day! The coach was small (held about 16 or so) but…read morethere were only 5 of us so we had lots of room. The coach was clean and comfortable. The itinerary was excellent and none of the individual drives we had were over 45 minutes. We visited Caerleon, Tintern Abbey and Raglan Castle. Adrian was knowledgeable and provided excellent commentary at each site. We had the right amount of time at each stop. The lunch at Abbey Mill restaurant was pretty good as well. The tour lasted from 9-4:45. A fantastic day all around and well worth the £48 pp. we would definitely recommend See Wales for this tour!

The group we were with was fairly small and the van was comfortable, though the A/C struggled a bit. The trip was leisurely and the sites were interesting. I didn't realize just how large a presence the Romans had in Wales. We also saw Tintern Abbey which so very impressive as a ruin I can only imagine the impression it created when in use. Abbey Mill was pleasant and the walk along the river after lunch was very nice. Raglan Castle was interesting as well. It was an enjoyable day and Adrian worked hard to see that we were having a good time. I would definitely recommend them.

I wanted to come here, but it was a ruse. I wasn't even invited. Oh wait, no, it was a Rhoose. So…read morethat's okay then. For a second I thought my Rhoose was cooked. This looks like a little old rural station but with a bunch of houses on one side of the track, but from here you get a bus into Cardiff Airport, so it works pretty well as an airport station, even though it's not right at the airport or anything. It's sort of in a residential neighborhood of Cardiff, so it works really well for those that live around here as well. It's a pretty standard bland station though, but not many actual buildings are here at all. It's about 12 miles to the west of the city center of Cardiff.

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport station serves the large village of Rhoose, west of Cardiff…read more It is linked by a connecting bus to Cardiff International Airport. The first station on this site opened in 1897 on the Barry Railway's extension from Barry to Bridgend, and continued when the line passed first to the Great Western Railway and then to British Railways. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1964 between Barry and Bridgend and all the intermediate stations, including Rhoose, were closed. The line however remained open for freight and as a diversionary route. Services from Cardiff to Bridgend via Barry started again in 2005, and Rhoose and Llantwit Major stations were reopened albeit as simple unstaffed halts. Rhoose was given the name "Rhoose Cardiff International Airport", the longest official station name in the U.K. It's Welsh version "Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd Y Rhws" is the longest official name in Welsh as well (as the longer version of the famous Llanfairpwllgwyngyll is not officially used). The station has very basic facilities. There are two platforms, staggered either side of the level crossing, each with simple shelters and ticket machines (card only). There is a small car park and a bus stop for the connecting airport bus service. Both platforms have level access. The station is unstaffed. The normal service is hourly on weekdays to or from Bridgend: to the east, services Call at all stations between Barry and Cardiff Central. Some continue to Aberdare, via Pontypridd. On Sundays there is a service every two hours, between Cardiff Central and Bridgend.

Arthur Conan Doyle's autobiography will be known as "Arth", and I've been asked to write it, so…read moreI've agreed, in principle, to Pen Arth. So people say it's a separate town that's independent and self-sustaining, but honestly it's really just a suburb of Cardiff named Penarth which is only three miles from Cardiff Central station which kind of proves my suburb point. Anyway, it's a cute little station in the middle of the Suburban town and has regular stations going up to Cardiff. One of the problems is that the car park here is for drop off and pick up purposes only. Also the hours for the ticket office are extremely limited, closing at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, worse even at other times, but still. It makes the station pretty tricky to work with, and difficult. I give it the extra star just because it's got some cheap houses here, but it is pretty run down like the other stations.

Penarth Railway Station is, I've always thought, exceptionally small considering the area it's…read morebringing people to. Penarth is hardly a busy and bustling city station, like Cardiff. This railway station has but one platform, and is the end of the line (at least there's never any confusion). Services run to Tredegar and Bargoed only, but all trains pass through Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street. Trains leave every 15 mins during the day, 30 mins at night until 11pm. Can you tell I use this station a lot? Although it is sometimes staffed (weekdays until 2.30pm), most of the time the main building is closed and passengers have to leave and enter the station platforms via a side gate. This station is small, but functional. At least you'll never be stuck waiting there for too long.

Cosmeston Medieval Village is a fantastic place to visit with family and friends. The reconstructed village is in situated in Cosmeston Park, near their visitor centre and cafe, so you really can make the trip a whole day if you want to (I recommend wholeheartedly), but it can also only be a few hours. The tour takes you around a village, complete with barns, bakeries and roaming chickens. The guides are fun and informative, and there's a multitude of people all wearing bright Medieval garb. There is also, of course, a chance to dress up, if so required. This day is great fun and informative; a wonderful way to get kids and adults alike involved with history.

You wander around the 14th century Welsh village visiting different medieval houses and buildings, and encountering costumed people along the way, going about their daily routines - whether it's cooking, farming, or making crafts. In this way, you kind of step back in time and enter medieval village life. There are also a range of animals such as chickens, ducks and pigs that would have been kept in villages during that period. There are lots of special events taking place at the village throughout the year, too - from medieval fairs where you can buy crafts, play games, see falconry displays and have a go at archery, to Halloween at Cosmeston when you can experience the dark side of medieval life.
