From Kingfishers to Carp: Parc Tredelerch is a wildlife haven worth visiting (and it’s just outside Tremorfa!)
Cardiffians are familiar with the lovely Roath Park Lake, Sophia Gardens, Bute Park and the Bay, but for us here in Splott, there’s a wildlife park just around the corner which has a 40,000 square meter lake at its heart.

Super Saturday in Splott: the reason I love this community (editorial rant!)
For some reason, Splott gets a bad rap, as does Adamsdown and Tremorfa. Yes, we have issues, but no so more than other places in Cardiff and it really bugs me when I hear people talking down about this part of the city because, actually, there’s a hell of a lot going for Splott and today […]

Splott Industrial Estate: from loft conversions to ice sculptures; Splott’s tiniest industrial park may surprise you.
It’s a bit car-heavy, but there’s more to Splott Industrial Estate than meets the eye (especially if you’ve never clapped eyes on it at all, like many Splottlanders, myself included and I’ve lived here for yonks!). Here’s a list, in clockwise order, of the businesses working hard for a living on a tiny industrial park […]
Young, not-so-young or in between, Moorland STAR wants to hear from you!
You know those surveys that take an absolute age and you lose the will to live not even half way through? Yeah, this isn’t like that. Never been to Moorland Star Community Centre? Doesn’t matter! Your opinion does though, so please spend five mins sharing it with the dedicated and talented team behind this amazing […]
Turning Splott green one planter at a time! The story behind the new mini community allotments

Four community planters have been delivered (thanks Cardiff Council!) and filled with soil and a variety of fruits, herbs, salads and vegetables which, when fully grown, can be harvested by local people and enjoyed by […]
