Roath park was built in the early 1890s on
130 acres of reclaimed marshland, known then as a malarial bog, and
includes the 30-acre Roath Lake (1.3 Miles around) formed by the damming of the
Nant Fawr stream.
The land for Roath Park was donated by the
Marquis of Bute to the City of Cardiff in 1887. The park was officially opened
to the public in 1894. Work initially focused on creating the lake from an area
of marshland.
The Western
Bank of
Roath
Recreation Ground
The Wild Gardens
or Wild Wood
Roath park occupies a long strip of land
stretching from Cyncoed in the north to Roath towards the southeast. The park
is divided into several parts along the Roath Brook, Nant Fawr. From north to
south; The Wild Gardens or Wild Wood, Roath Park Lake, Botanical Gardens, Rose
Gardens, Pleasure Gardens, Roath Park Recreation Ground, Roath Brook Gardens,
Roath Mill Gardens and Waterloo Gardens.
The Scott Memorial
Lighthouse
In 1915 a lighthouse was constructed in the
lake containing a scale model of the 'Terra Nova' ship to commemorate Captain
Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole from Cardiff in 1910.
The Roath Park
Conservatory
There is a glasshouse in Roath Park which
was built in Victorian times. It contains many unusual species of plants and
trees such as palms, banana trees and orchids. A pond and waterfall form an
interesting feature, containing fish, terrapins and whistling ducks. Amongst
the plants you may spot one of the Green Water Dragons. There is also the
chance to talk with the botanical assistants about your own garden or pick up
some leaflets. Swan and duck food is on sale for feeding the birds on the lake.
