Cardiff Castle and its Parklands
Just a short walk from Cardiff Castle and the city centre is Bute Park, an extensive area of mature parkland, flanked by the River Taff, Sophia Gardens, Pontcanna Fields and the castle. Few places can boast such a spacious green area in the heart of their city - a very popular “green lung” full of historic and wildlife interest. Containing a stunning, nationally significant arboretum with 50 United Kingdom “Champion Trees”, Bute Park attracts over 1,000,000 visits a year and plays a vital role in the city's events calendar .
Bute Park and Cardiff Castle share a common history, and have played significant roles in the development of the city from Roman and medieval times, through the industrial revolution, up until the modern city of Cardiff we know today. From 1873, the southern section was laid out by Andrew Pettigrew for the Bute family as Cardiff Castle's private pleasure grounds. In 1947 the 5th Marquess of Bute handed over Bute Park and Cardiff Castle to the people of the city of Cardiff.
