Getting here
Where
The Old Schoolroom at 14 High Street, Llandaff: the stone building with the pointed windows and the pale door beside the chapel, a minute from the cathedral green and the Black Lion. The studio is the schoolroom; the reformer room is the old vestry at the back.
Parking
The cathedral green car park is two minutes away and free for two hours; the High Street has an hour outside. We ask people not to park in the chapel's spaces on Sundays. Bike racks by the door.
Train and bus
Llandaff station is a twelve-minute walk down Cardiff Road, or the 33, 33A and 62 buses stop on the High Street. From Cardiff city centre it is twenty minutes by bus.
Access
Two steps at the front door with a ramp we put out on request; the studio and the reformer room are on one level with an accessible toilet. Tell us when you book and the ramp will be there. Chairs are available in every gentle class.
Who comes
Llandaff, Llandaff North, Pontcanna, Canton, Radyr, Danescourt, Fairwater and Whitchurch, and a few who drive from the Vale for Ruth. About a third of the daytime classes are over sixty.
Hours
Classes from 6:45am to 8:30pm on weekdays, Saturday mornings and Sunday until the workshop ends. The desk is open half an hour either side of each class; the phone is answered 9 to 6, Monday to Saturday.

The name
The river at the bottom of the hill, on a still morning.
Llandaff sits above a bend in the Taff where the water goes quiet under the cathedral, and on a misty morning before the 6:45 class it is the stillest place in Cardiff. The studio is named for it, and the Sunday 9am slow flow ends with a walk down to the weir for anyone who wants one. Several of the early-morning regulars swim there in summer, which we neither recommend nor discourage.
The scheduleYour first class is £8. Read the first-visit page, then come.
