Bute Park, Public park in Cardiff, United Kingdom
The 53-hectare green space extends behind Cardiff Castle, containing numerous walking paths, three cafes, and a dedicated visitor center for park information.
The land belonged to the Bute family until 1947, when the 5th Marquess of Bute gave the grounds to Cardiff Council for public recreational use.
The 1978 Gorsedd Stone Circle within the park represents Welsh traditions and marks the celebration of the National Eisteddfod cultural festival in Cardiff.
The park opens daily from 7:30 AM until 30 minutes before sunset, with three entrance points accessible from North Road, Castle Street, and Corbett Road.
The arboretum contains over 3,000 catalogued trees, including specimens that rank among the largest of their species in the British Isles.
