Cardiff
Bay is "Europe's most exciting waterfront". It is
also the largest, and most diverse resource site in south-east
Wales. A visit to the Bay can offer teachers and students
at all levels, from Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum
to post-graduate research, the opportunity to explore and
investigate.
Areas
of interest include history; geography; art; science; citizenship;
sociology and urban development and regeneration.
On
view is a decade of achievements by the Cardiff Bay Development
Corporation and stunning examples of the many achievements
long before 'Cardiff Bay' replaced 'Tiger Bay'.
Butetown History and Arts Centre is an independent local charity
based at the hub of these achievements. BHAC is able to offer
a range of support and services which will make a success
of any field visit or research study.
