Cosmeston Lakes Country Park

“Cosmeston Lake Country Park & Medieval Village is an enjoyable place for those who loves outings with family, especially along with their children. Filled with open spaces, trees & natural beauty and a lake, it is an ideal spot for a day-long trip. There is a small designated play area for children to enjoy. However, it is best to visit on a sunny day, as you can spread a mat in the open areas and enjoy sunbathing, which is a lovely experience. The park offers convenient car parking facilities. If you prefer to travel by bus, you can take bus number 94 from the Cardiff Bus Interchange. But you have to grab Day To Go Plus or Family Day To Go Plus tickets. After getting off at the Cosmeston Lakes stop, it is only a 1-2 minute walk to enter the park. You will also get an idea of the lifestyle of people's was over 600 years ago, as you will see some of the historical structures that represent the year of 1350.”

“​Beautiful park and lake, perfect for a picnic in the sunshine! The medieval village is excellent and very peaceful despite being near a main road. The reproductions of the tithe barn, bakery, and houses are brilliant, though it was a bit of a pity they were all locked up so we couldn't see inside. ​Stopped by the cafe which was clean, friendly, and served good food. ​ Parking is cheap, but the wardens are very active, i noticed several cars with parking tickets, so make sure you display your ticket. Great day out and highly recommended for a walk and some photos.”

“Lovely place to go for a walk and a picnic. You can feed the ducks seeds and watch the dragonflies flyby. Great place to go to see nature.”
