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.
