Pathway Along the River Taff

Highlight • Viewpoint

4.80 km

Gorsedd Stone Circle, Bute Park

Highlight • Monument

Although it might look like an ancient monument, it was actually installed in 1978 to celebrate Cardiff hosting the Welsh National Eisteddfod.
The central table stone was moved from the circle of stones in Gorsedd Gardens to Bute Park, giving it its name.
The stones and surrounding grass area is popular in the summer with locals and tourists alike.

Blackweir Bridge and Weir

Blackweir Bridge crossing the River Taff, was designed and constructed in the 1980s by engineering students at nearby Cardiff University. The students evidently liked the feel of the earth moving under their feet, it can be a bit bouncy!
