This is a lovely modern health club, located just off the M4 / A465 at Llandarcy Neath…read more I haven't been a member for the last couple of years, as the price of membership was just too expensive, but I did use it a lot when I was a member. It has all the facilities you would expect from a modern health club - gym, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi, tennis courts and much more. There's also a very nice restaurant, although it was a bit on the pricey side. There's something for all the family at this place. It's well worth a look around on one of their open days or just ring up and ask to be shown around.

It's located just a short walk from the main Mermaid Quay area of Cardiff Bay, and offers a warm refuge from the harsh weather that often hits that part of the city in the winter. It's open seven days a week and is home to Wales' only IMAX cinema screen (within the Odeon cinema), plus the 26-lane Hollywood Bowl bowling alley, Grosvenor Casino, the Doctor Who 'Up Close' exhibition, and lots of restaurants - including big chains such as Bella Italia and Chiquito. There's also a Cadwaladers ice cream parlour, an Indian and a Chinese restaurant, and a family sports bar with loads of screens and pool tables called R Bar. Overall it aims to offer a variety of things to do, all in a dry, indoor environment. It's not a particularly exciting venue, but on a wet and windy day it's an easy place to park up for free and take your family for some entertainment or food. Sometimes - particularly during school holidays - they have special events such as craft workshops, live jazz, or even anti-bullying workshops.

Parking also costs nothing as long as you patronise one of the establishments within the centre. Why wouldn't you want to go there?

The Adventurous Activity Company offers all sorts of adventurous activities!…read more It's a great idea for something a bit different to do with friends, though their half or full day adventures will leave you feeling exhausted! It's a fantastic way to see Bristol from a perspective you wouldn't have otherwise, from canoeing round Bristol docks, abseiling down the cliffs of Avon Gorge or taking a mountain bike course. Some of the things aren't for the faint hearted while some activities would be suitable for all. Prices are reasonable for the experience though not cheap.

On the outskirts of the area, the easiest way to get here is to go up the M32 from the city centre and get off immediately when you see the sign. There are other facilities here, though I've only come here for the outdoor five-a-side pitches. Unfortunately, however, this place is for me (perhaps appropriately for the surrounding area!) most readily associated with injury. My Saturday team used to use the tarmac pitches, but had to stop as players were dropping like flies due to the solid surface (including one broken wrist). Also, with work, I used to play lunch time five-a-side on the one astroturf pitch, though this is slightly old and broken up, which means that if you fall over and inevitably cut your knee, your injury also receives a fresh covering of sand. Not a bad place for a kickaround, but there are better alternatives.
