Sophia Gardens is a CADW Grade II listed park located a short walk from the Principality stadium, Cardiff Castle and the city’s main high streets and night time economy destinations.  It is adjacent to the river Taff, a P&D car park and the Taff Trail. The park contains a designated event space which has hosted a range of outdoor events over the years. There are good public transport links to the site (including the Sophia Gardens coach station) and it is close to a number of hotels, B&Bs and guest houses. The site is served by a one-way spine road that runs along its west elevation.
