About this walk
A flat, easy loop through Cardiff's 130-acre green heart, running from Cardiff Castle along the River Taff up to Blackweir and the Arboretum. Wide tarmac and gravel paths, an avenue of specimen trees, and riverside benches make this a popular everyday walk for city-based dog owners, with the Taff Trail continuing further north for a longer outing.
