Cosmeston Park, Cardiff

Few visitors would believe that this picturesque country park was once a limestone quarry. Parts of the area were flooded when quarrying ceased, forming an extensive area of lakes and wetlands. This and the landscaped countryside around form the main attractions of the park. Facilities include free car parking, marked footpaths for country walks, a visitor centre and restaurant, adventure playground, wardens and an educational package for visiting groups of children. On the same site is Cosmeston Medieval Village .
