Although Bute Park is in the middle of Cardiff, you feel totally distanced from the noise around. There are a number of walks following the Taff, and it's the best way to chill out in the City. The cafe offered a good range of light meals and coffee & cakes. More

It is a huge park considering its central location. You can have a coffee, read a book, do sports, BBQ, picnic, play games, exercise etc. It is simply a place where you can do almost everything with the fresh air and nice view. Definitely worth spending some time there. More

I can't comment on the food at this place.... I queued for half an hour assuming I could get a baguette to take away without too much trouble, but when I got to the front they said there was a long wait for food and I had run out of time and had to leave. Is it too much trouble... More

Awesome park with the river Taff running adjacent. Views of Cardiff castle and very local to the city centre make this a great place to have some lunch / chill out or a game of football More

We walked the length of the park on our first afternoon in Cardiff. There's a small cafe called The Secret Garden that's worth checking out if you're in the mood for a bite. The flowers and ducks were lovely. A fine way to spend an afternoon. More

There is a delightful little tea/coffee shop just inside the entrance. The park is a lovely quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city even though on the doorstep. Next to the Castle. The aquabus stop is just inside the park. The aquabus takes you on a leisurely trip on the River Taff down to the Cardiff... More
