Bute Park is the principal park of the city of Cardiff, capital of Wales. It is a vast area of landscaped gardens and parkland that once formed the grounds of Cardiff Castle. It is named after the 3rd Marquess of Bute, whose family resided in the castle.

[edit] Landscape

Straddling the River Taff, it offers a combination of arboretum, flower gardens and recreation grounds. Within the park's grounds is Sophia Gardens, home to Glamorgan County Cricket Club. Most of the park is laid to grassland but there is also an abundance of woodland and tree-lined avenues. The castle begins the park in the city centre.
