|  | Bute Park The beautiful Bute Park provides Cardiff with greenery in the very centre of the city. Straddling the River Taff, it offers a combination of arboretum, flower gardens, recreation grounds and even some standing stones
|
The wide pathways accommodate both joggers and bikers, and the soccer fields are ideal for competitive and friendly matches. An established arboretum, a Stonehenge-like circle of stones, and the wide and expansive vistas make this park a haven for people exercising, studying, or relaxing.

River Taff The Atlantic salmon is widespread in the British Isles. Recent improvements in water quality have allowed Atlantic salmon to return to the River Taff from which they have been absent for most of the last century. In 1997, 63,000 salmon smolts were stocked into the River Taff.
