Nub News puts Penarth in your pocket and brings you closer to the town you love.
But how much do you actually know about Penarth?
We've teamed up with Peter Walford of Penarth Walks for our first weekly quiz that puts your knowledge of "The Garden by the Sea" to the test.
With Peter you can explore Penarth on a local-led, small-group walk.
Benefit from his insider insight and learn more about the history of the local area than you could alone, while touring places such as the Cardiff Bay Barrage and Penarth Head Park.
Book a tour here or email Peter at [email protected].
