Roath Park 1 Roath Park Roath Park 1 Roath Park Geographical coordinates: 51°30′23″N 3°10′30″W Roath Park (Welsh: Parc y Rhath) Cardiff, Wales, is one of Cardiff's most popular parks which still retains a classic Victorian atmosphere and boasts a wide variety of facilities. The park has recently been awarded the prestigious Green Flag award, to recognise the high quality of Roath Park and its importance to Cardiff. Roath Park is full of historic and horticultural interest, with widely diverse environments across the park. The park was built on 130 acres (0.53 km2) of reformed bogland, known then as a malarial bog, and includes a 30-acre (120000 m2) lake (1.3 Miles around) formed by the damming of the Nant Fawr Roath Park Lake stream. It is a popular facility for fishing and rowing. There are four islands within a conservation area, home to many water birds. Elements of the main park include a large playground, superb floral displays, the famous glasshouse conservatory and high quality recreational areas. 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, Roath Park Lake, Botanical Gardens, Rose Gardens, Pleasure Gardens, Roath Park Recreation Ground, Roath Brook Gardens, Roath Mill Gardens and Waterloo Gardens. The park is owned by Cardiff County Council and managed by the Parks Section. History The land for Roath Park was donated by the Marquis of Bute to the city in 1887. The park was officially opened to the public in 1894. Work initially focused on creating the lake from an area of marshland. 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 voyage to the Antarctic from Cardiff in 1910. The parks’ atmosphere today still retains the Victorian elegance and its status as a Conservation Area ensures these qualities will be conserved. Nature There is a wide range of habitats in the park, which attracts a diverse variety of wildlife. The lake acts as an important habitat for over wintering and breeding birds, including mallard, cormorants and herons. Four islands within the lake, which are inaccessible to the public, also act as safe nesting sites. The lake has a population of about 100 swans and a number of geese. Many wild birds are scared off by The Scott Memorial an abundance of geese in the lake and local conservationists actively take measures to control their numbers. There is a wildflower garden included in the park where the area is managed to encourage wildlife and native species. Roath Park 2 Champion trees The Tree Register of the British Isles, (TROBI), is an organisation which records and measures trees in the UK. The biggest and best of their kind are called Champion Trees and twelve of these have been identified in Roath Park. There is a trail which can be followed around the park, at each location there will be a marker post to assist in identifying each tree: 1. Elaeagnus angustifolia, (Oleaster) 2. Ginkgo biloba 'Pendula', (Weeping Maidenhair Tree) 3. Pterostyrax corymbosa Autumn colours, Roath Park 4. Laurus nobilis 'Aurea', (Golden Bay) 5. Meliosma parviflora 6. Emmenopterys henryi 7.

Pinus densiflora 'Umbraculifera', (Dwarf Japanese Red Pine) 12. Prumnopitys andina, (Chilean Plum Yew) (*common name) Recreation Roath Park Recreation Ground, towards the southern end of the park, contains sports pitches available for many different activities such as football, baseball and rugby union. High quality bowling greens and tennis courts are provided in the central section of the park, the Pleasure Gardens. There are also rowing boats which can be hired out and used on the lake. The lake is also home to a local radio-controlled boat society and is used for coarse fishing throughout the year. There are also two well equipped playgrounds. Roath Park in winter Roath Park 3 Special events There are regular events within the park including guided walks, concerts, exhibitions etc. See the Parks Website [1] for information about current events. 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. The Conservatory at Roath Park Ornamental gardens The park boasts exceptional floral displays. These include the flowerbeds along the promenade and the famous rose garden, which include trial beds for the National Rose Society. Further information on plants in the park can be obtained from the Parks Website on the Illustrated Plant Guide. Views The promenade along the dam at the bottom of the lake offers great views to the hills on the edge of Cardiff. A walk around the lake is a very popular pastime and is full of interest.

  • I T Has Been a Fantastic Start to the New Academic Year. We
    t has been a fantastic start to the new academic year. We have had a highly successful Year 6 and Sixth Form Open I Evening, and once again, have been overwhelmed with interest in studying at Cardiff High School. It is great to see such faith put in us by parents not just in this community but also across Cardiff. Much of this is based on our exceptional exam results. Last year 89% of all Year 11 students achieved 5 A*-C grades, the highest figure ever recorded in Wales with 36% of all students attaining 5A*-A grades including English and Maths. We were equally as proud that all Year 11 left with a minimum of 5 A*-G grades. In the Sixth Form, our students, both individually and collectively, achieved some of the highest results in Wales and the best yet for the school. Of course the school is so much more than this. It is a welcoming, caring environment with a wonderful Wellbeing and Achievement Team to support all pupils in their learning. While continuing to deliver high standards of education we have developed the school to successfully operate as a School Improvement Hub for the Central South Consortium. The school has been at the forefront of the improvement hub agenda and to date Cardiff High School staff have been involved in providing training and professional learning opportunities for over 180 staff from the five neighbouring Local Authorities which make up the Central South Consortium region. In addition, we have become a recognised centre for excellence for the delivery of Welsh in English Medium schools.
