Overview

This walk takes us clockwise around Cardiff Bay, no mud, no stiles and all good footpaths.

We will have lunch sitting under 'Cadair Idris' where we can enjoy the nature reserve. We will then follow the path to Mermaid Quay and along to the barrage.

At the end of the barrage we will have the opportunity to enjoy a Joe's ice cream before our return along Penarth Marina to the car park.
