Bute Park is good for a stroll if you have a spare 1/2 hour; we were waiting for the WaterBus to take us into Cardiff Bay (the dock is in the park, near the bridge); so we went for circular walk; good open areas if the kids want to run, a half buried 'monster' near the northern end of the... More

Came upon the park whilst walking to the river, amazed at the size of it as its in the city centre. Very nice for a quiet walk amongst the hundreds of different trees and there is a couple of nice cafes one within a walled garden. You can catch a river taxi from the park on the hour to the... More

A beautiful , tranquil park. Whether you are just sitting on the grass or having a picnic or enjoying catch up time with friends, this is the place to be. one can also catch a water taxi to Cardiff Bay for £3 one way.

Bute park is such a lovely place to go, its right in the centre of cardiff, but is so quiet, and peaceful. It is very well maintained, with fantastic places to picnic, wonderful flower borders and wide open places for children to run!

Bute Park is an oasis of calm in the middle of Cardff. We thought it was a very pretty place, especially as it was sunny and warm during our visit. It is a big space and we had a lovely walk along the river from one end of the park to the other. We could hardly believe when we entered... More

Visited the Royal Horticultural Society exhibition. A truly excellent day out - plenty to do and see. A must for all gardeners. Put it in your diary for next year!

We spent a lovely few hours here, even if the weather wasn't to special. Would love to go back again later in the year, when there's more colour. Plenty of level paths so the less able bodied can enjoy it as well.

My partner and myself love this park. It is very close to the town centre and hosts many large events in the year. Beautiful scenery, copious choice of spots for a quiet sit down. Whether you are by yourself or with a couple it is a lovely place for a walk.
