Nice little park

Aug 2023 • Friends

It is nice to walk through the beautiful garden/park in front of the National Museum or to sit on a bench. Here you see a circle of stones (Gorsedd Circle) that was erected elsewhere to declare the National Eisteddfod of 1899 and moved here in 1905. An annual National Eisteddfod is held which is a celebration of Welsh culture and language.
There are also a number of bronze statues of Lord Ninian Stuart, John Cory. Both men stand with their backs to us and a bronze statue of a crouching girl. When the weather is nice you can also sit on the terrace at the small coffee bar.

Small but pretty

Sep 2022 • Solo

Little garden but pretty with nice statues of prominent figures and city hall behind you. It's usually a wah to cut through from A to B

Beautiful Garden

Jul 2019 • Solo

Have walked through this Garden on many an occasion as a nice relaxing area with both shaded and open places.
Great views of City Hall.
Many people go here at lunch times to chill out.
Plenty of benches with shade.
There are some lovely statues around the Garden.
There is also a nice coffee hut in the Garden.
Would thoroughly recommend.

An unimpressive garden.

Jul 2021

This is a small and somehow unimpressive garden, located not far from the city hall in Cardiff.
Nothing much to see here.
