Dating in Cardiff

A first date idea
A walk in Bute Park
Bute Park sits right behind Cardiff Castle, a short walk from the main shopping streets. It has an arboretum, a Champion Tree Trail and natural play features. Brodies on the Wall, the Secret Garden Cafe and the Summerhouse Cafe are all good for a coffee.
