About

Roath Park in Cardiff is a Victorian public park that has remained a favourite with locals and visitors since it first opened in the late 19th century. Centred around a large ornamental lake, it offers scenic walking paths, a striking lighthouse, boating opportunities and an abundance of wildlife, including swans and geese. The beautifully landscaped grounds also feature a botanic garden and a glasshouse conservatory showcasing tropical plants.

Families can enjoy the children’s play areas, adventure equipment and sports facilities, while those seeking a quieter experience can stroll through the rose gardens or relax on the lawns. With its blend of heritage, nature and recreation, Roath Park provides a green and welcoming escape in the heart of Cardiff, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the city.
