Hiking
The beautiful Glamorganshire Canal Local Nature Reserve is located in Whitchurch, Cardiff, along the former Cardiff Merthyr canal.
The area is very popular with locals, who describe it as the only place in the city where you can truly feel like you are in the countryside. There are kingfishers, herons, and many other species to be discovered and oak and beech species as old as 200 years!
