1. Bute Park, Cardiff

2. Alexandra Park, Bath
This lovely park offers something for everyone and is the perfect spot for a picnic. A wonderful, tranquil green space with mature trees; this 11-acre park provides magnificent panoramic views of the city and the surrounding wooded vales and hills. If you love the city of Bath just as much as we do, then why not check out our Hope House development, which is also situated in this beautiful city.
