Riverside ((ウェールズ語:Glan yr Afon)) is an inner-city area of Cardiff, Wales, next to the River Taff. Riverside is also the name of the electoral ward, which can be split into two parts; Riverside and sub-locality Pontcanna. These two areas have some differences and are roughly divided by Cowbridge Road East, with Pontcanna located to the north. ==Description== Riverside, south of Cowbridge Road East, consists mainly of terraced houses and is a focus for much of the city's ethnic minority population, with sizeable communities of Bangladeshis, Sikh and Chinese, particularly around Tudor Street which has a strongly ethnic feel to it. Riverside has a number of Chinese, Halal, Indian, and West Indian shops selling a range of foods. The Riverside Community Market Association (RCMA)s Riverside Farmers Market began in November 1998 as the Riverside Real Food Market, a weekly Sunday farmers' market on the Fitzhamon Embankment. Other signs of regeneration include the area becoming the focus for Cardiff's rapidly expanding budget accommodation with three backpacking hostels in close proximity to each other. Pontcanna is an area of wide tree-lined streets and some large houses. It is a gentrified "media Village" with a cafe culture-lifestyle centred on Pontcanna Street and Cathedral Road. It is interesting demographically due to both its large English born population and large Welsh language speaking political and media class. Within Riverside are a number of parks and public gardens including; Despenser Gardens, Clare Gardens, Sophia Gardens, Plasturton Gardens, Pontcanna Fields and LLandaff Fields. Sophia Gardens, along the bank of the River Taff, is home to a caravan park, the Glamorgan County Cricket Club, and the Sport Wales National Centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Riverside, Cardiff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
