    I saw them a couple of days ago! Now that's one part of Splott I'd avoid! Was the teeny tiny little horse there too?

    North Llandaff and Danescourt are worth a look.

    Do you mean Llandaff North?!

    As everyone else has said, some streets in Splott are great but others are a bit grim. I lived in a fab flat on Newport Road for a few years which was pretty cheap but quieter than you'd think it would be - admittedly it was on the Roath side but faced Broadway so close enough!!!

    Moved to Danescourt after that and it was the worst place I've ever lived - looked great on paper, but got stuck renting a semi detached house with the neighbours from hell. Think they would have been more at home in Tremorfa, but ended up there by mistake lol.

    The only thing I'd advise is maybe visiting the potential street you want to move to at a few different times - some of the ones that look fine during the day are a whole different world after dark and vice versa. Good luck wherever you move to though!!!

    Splott is somewhere I would avoid. I live right next to it and walk through it regularly...not a fan myself!
