Pontcanna Fields, Bute Park and the Taff
Pontcanna and Penylan lead Cardiff bookings, and Pontcanna sits beside Bute Park and Pontcanna Fields, a long stretch of central parkland along the Taff. Cathays and Roath add student and young-professional demand near Roath Park lake, while Llandaff and Whitchurch extend a round along the Taff Trail. Light sitter supply means recurring weekday slots are genuinely available rather than already taken.
