North Road entrance to Bute Park, Cardiff
Bute Park is Cardiff's biggest city centre public park. It was created as the private garden to Cardiff Castle between 1873 and 1901 by head gardener Andrew Pettigrew for the third Marquess of Bute.
In 1947, a large part of the grounds was given to the people of Cardiff by the fifth Marquess of Bute, along with Cardiff Castle and Sophia Gardens. Further portions of land were bought and leased by the council to create an extensive park. The Victorian garden layout still exists, though since 1947 the park has been extensively planted with trees to form the Bute Park Arboretum.

Autumn on a Cardiff backwater
The waterway, un-named as far as I can tell, is a leg off the Taff that starts at Blackweir then runs down to skirt to the north of Cardiff Castle.

North Wall and Moat: Cardiff Castle
The "moat" is in fact the Bute Dock Feeder, constructed in the 1830s, taking Taff water from a mile upstream to maintain the level in the Dock. The wall is even younger, having been built along the line of the old Roman fortification in the 1890s.
