Bute Park
Bute Park is a large public park of over 56 hectares in the heart of Cardiff, occupying the west bank of the River Taff immediately north of Cardiff Castle and forming the green heart of the Welsh capital. Part of the historic Bute Estate developed by the Marquesses of Bute, the park contains an outstanding arboretum of over three thousand trees recognised as one of the most significant in Wales, formal gardens, riverside walks and open sports grounds. Adjacent to the Civic Centre, the National Museum Cardiff and Cardiff Castle, Bute Park sits at the centre of the city's cultural quarter and hosts major events including the annual Tafwyl Welsh-language festival. Admission is free and it is one of the most visited sites in Wales.
