Separated pedestrian and cycle paths. Must be included on a scenic tour of Cardiff.

Always great in Cardiff Bay

A traffic free gem in the heart of Cardiff Bay!

If you're lucky you can get a close view of huge ships (including naval) entering Cardiff Harbour.

In September Cardiff Skate Club has its annual Plaza Comp at the skatepark at the end of the barrage which is always worth a watch.

Especially busy during the summer weekends. During peak times the cycle path / road will have pedestrians all along it with pets off leads so take care.

Sometimes can be closed. Check cardiffharbour.com/category/news-and-updates before you make the trip. This usually happens on a weekday rather than weekends.
