The park was formerly a Limestone quarry, when quarrying ceased in 1970, under ground springs flooded parts of the area, creating lakes and wet lands. |
The visitor centre is open every day and provides information about the park and medieval village. The centre incorporates a gift shop and cafeteria. There is always a Warden in the park to give advice and answer questions, you will recognise the Wardens by their distinctive uniforms. The Warden service offers a comprehensive educational package to visiting schools and groups.

Great tips and photos! Wales in general, and Cardiff in particular, look wonderful. Only thing missing on your page is info about Tom Jones. She's a lady ... wo, wo, wo ... she's a lady! Gotta love Tommy! Best from NJ, Bill | mvtouring Wed Feb 14, 2007 09:59 UTC
