Roath Park is a beloved Victorian green oasis in Cardiff, covering around 130 acres and centred around a 30-acre man-made lake formed in the 1890s. The Scott Memorial Lighthouse, elegant with its clock tower, marks the lakeside — perfect for leisurely walks or watching swans glide by.
Beyond the lake are beautifully maintained gardens: a glasshouse conservatory with exotic plants, rose gardens, wildflower zones, and winding pathways shaded by mature trees. For younger visitors there are playgrounds, and for active fun there are boating & pedalos, tennis and bowling in the Pleasure Gardens, and sports pitches in the Recreation Ground. Numerous cafés and refreshment kiosks allow you to pause and enjoy views over water or gardens. A peaceful escape from the city with plenty to see and do for families, nature lovers, or anyone wanting fresh air and charm.
