The flags are presented every year by the charity Keep Wales Tidy in recognition of well-kept public areas, with the Welsh capital awarded a record ten green flags at this years' presentation.

Flags were awarded to Bute Park, Cardiff Bay Barrage, Cathays Cemetery, Flat Holm Island, Grange Gardens, Parc Cefn Onn, Roath Park, Rumney Hill Gardens, Thornhill Cemetery and Victoria Park.

Cardiff Council's ten Green Flags are a testament to the efforts of the staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the standards demanded by the Green Flag Award. It is thanks to them that we have so many fantastic facilities available on our doorstep.
