Parks & Nature
Turn right out of the door, walk to the end of the road and you'll emerge onto Wellfield Road facing the Library, which is at the bottom of the Rec. Wander up the rec, maybe catching a game of rugby on the way, then into the Pleasure Gardens, with it's benches, arboretum, bridge, bowls lawns and tennis courts, and then to the motorway bridge and roundabouts. Go under the bridge and you're in Roath Park, with it's botanic garden, boating lake, play area, rose garden. It'll be amazing :)
