The city of Cardiff in Wales is one of the most popular cities in the UK for tourists. One of the best features of the city is the number of parks spread around the city which are stunning at any time of the year, and especially in summer. Below is a brief guide to some of the best parks in Cardiff.
Cardiff Parks
Roath Park – Roath Park is a short drive from the city centre, or about a 20 minute walk. This is a luscious space of grass which, whilst not the biggest park in Cardiff, is pleasurable due to the uninterrupted space and pleasant surrounding trees. The close proximity to shops, bars and restaurants is conducive to a day long stay.
Heath Field – In the foreground of the main city hospital, located in one of the more desirable sections of Cardiff, can be found this enormous park. There are a number of sports pitches here which make it attractive to sporty visitors, but there is also plenty of other greenery and woodland to attract all types of people.
Bute Park – This is the closest park to the city centre, something which is a large factor in its popularity. There are approximately 55 acres of greenery as well as the opportunity to explore the river Taff and to experience exquisite views of Cardiff Castle in Wales.
