Pierhead Building: A Jewel of Cardiff's Maritime Heritage

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from Cardiff Central Station, exit the station and head towards the main road, which is Station Approach. Turn right onto the road and walk straight until you reach the pedestrian crossing. Cross over to the opposite side and continue straight onto Penarth Road. Follow Penarth Road as it curves left and becomes Bute Street. Keep walking straight until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the first exit onto the A4160, which is also known as the Cardiff Bay Link Road. Continue on this road until you see a sign for the Pierhead Building. The Pierhead Building will be on your right-hand side at the waterfront, directly next to the Welsh Parliament building.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From Cardiff Central Station, you can catch a bus to Cardiff Bay. Exit the station and head to the bus stop located just outside the station. Look for the bus services that head towards Cardiff Bay, such as the Number 6 or 7 bus. Purchase a ticket from the driver or use a contactless payment method. Stay on the bus until you reach the stop at 'Cardiff Bay, Pierhead' which is the closest stop to the Pierhead Building. Once you disembark, walk towards the waterfront, and you will see the Pierhead Building immediately ahead.

• Cycling

  If you are using a bike, you can cycle from Cardiff Central Station. Exit the station and head towards Bute Park, which is a short cycle away. Enter Bute Park and follow the paths that lead towards the River Taff. Cycle along the river until you reach the Cardiff Bay area. Once you reach the waterfront, you will see signs directing you to the Pierhead Building. It is located right next to the Welsh Parliament building, and there are bike racks available nearby.
