Out & About Elsewhere

Discover more about your local parks, green spaces, and countryside by downloading a pdf file from HERE. These are events run by Cardiff Rangers from the Parks Dept all year round.

The booklet includes activities for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. The programme also includes events at local cemeteries and the crematorium. The description of each walk in the programme tells you:

how far and how strenuous the walk is
when and where to meet
whether you need to book in advance
if there is a charge. Most walks and activities are free. Some have a small charge which is clearly indicated in the programme.

Thanks to everyone involved in putting on our walks and events - especially the volunteers who give their time freely and pass on such a wealth of knowledge.

A few of the walks do not allow dogs (except guide dogs). For all other walks and activities dogs should be kept on a short lead at all times. Owners are asked to help keep our parks clean by cleaning up after their dogs.
