Cycle Tour 1: City centre, parks and bay
Guided sightseeing on two wheels.
Along bike lanes and through the city’s parks, you’ll learn the history behind Cardiff’s landmarks and visit the parts other tours can’t reach. With frequent stops and an easy pace, you don’t need to be super-fit – just a competent cyclist.

Setting off from a city centre independent café, you’ll ride on cycle paths to Cardiff’s grand Edwardian civic centre, past the third Marquess of Bute’s statue overlooking the castle he rebuilt in gothic style and through Bute Park with its famous arboretum. You’ll follow the river past the Principality Stadium and through the city’s wetlands to the old Tiger Bay – the site of the docks which made the city rich. You’ll pass the Senedd (the Welsh Parliament) and make a pit-stop at the Norwegian Church, built by visiting sailors. You’ll head back to the city centre, with its beautiful Victorian arcades, home of the world’s oldest record shop. En route, we’ll sample a Welsh cake from the old city jail, now home of the indoor market.
