BUY LOCAL – Rhiwbina – A guide to the local shops and services of Rhiwbina Village supporting the Cardiff BUY LOCAL campaign.
I am constantly surprised by the volume of people that have not experienced some of Cardiff’s small suburban village gems. Rhiwbina Village nestled away in the northern echelons of Cardiff exemplify this connotation.
Secluded to the volumes of passing trade that manor way offers at rush hour, Rhiwbina boasts its very own distinct character and flavour, what's more famous for having one of Wales’ only Garden Villages, and yes it is beautiful.
Recent years have seen a churn of shops with some big high street banks leaving the village hampering the passing foot flow. Yet as a result, a whole host of boutique, buoyant and attractive shops have emerged – making Rhiwbina a place with something to offer the young, the old and the hungry!
Some new shops which are drawing Cardiff’s gaze to Rhiwbina including Nest, the Shabby Chic emporium; Haus home interior furnishings, started by two highly creative and experienced ladies formerly of Maskreys on Whitchurch Rd, As well as Top Dawg, renowned for their doggie retail boutique! And of course Snails Deli, the Olive Branch for food by day and the Juboraj and Butchers arms by night.
Here’s a micro directory of a whole bunch of shops that we chatted with during our day out and about Rhiwbina:
