Cycle Tour 2: City centre, parks and cathedral
Guided sightseeing on two wheels.
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. We’ll head north alongside the river to the historic village of Llandaff with its 12th century cathedral. We’ll visit the Victorian Insole Court mansion, home of pioneering mine owners. Back in the city centre, there’ll be time to take in the beautiful Victorian arcades and the old city jail, now home of the indoor market.
Highlights
• Cardiff Castle
• The Victorian arcades and indoor market
• Cardiff Civic Centre
• Bute Park Arboretum
• Llandaff Village, including Llandaff Cathedral
• Insole Court
• Pontcanna
The cost is £25 for an adult and £15 for under 16s (but children must be at least 1.5m tall, due to the size of the bikes). The hire of a bike and helmet are included.
