Our History
Part of Heath Park was used as the site of the Heath Park Campus. Situated a short walk from the former Cross Inn, the campus is shared between the University Hospital of Wales and Cardiff University’s medical schools. Outside the landmark hospital (which opened in 1971) is Aneurin Bevan Way, named after the founder of the National Health Service. ‘Nye’ Bevan was a native of south Wales, born in Tredegar, 15 miles or so north of Cardiff.
