| Cardiff is one of the UK's greenest cities with a string of parks running from the city centre out towards the northern suburbs. These link together making it possible to walk or cycle from Cardiff bay with minimal use of roads. | |
|
Parks Grandest of all Cardiff's parks is Bute Park which was presented to the City by the fifth Marquess of Bute in 1947. It's heavily wooded and contains an arboretum with many rare and interesting specimen trees. The park runs from the City centre (main access and parking behind the Castle) parallel to the river Taff and approx 1.5 miles north to Western Avenue. |
|
The Taff Trail The Taff trail runs for 50 or so miles from Cardiff Bay to Brecon although a half day cycling the parks of Cardiff is enough for most weekend cyclists and families. |
