Heath is a leafy, largely residential district to the north of Cardiff in Wales, sitting roughly two miles from Cardiff city centre. It is notable for the expanse of green space around Heath Park, quiet residential streets of late Victorian and Edwardian houses, and good public transport links into the city.
The area has a strong local identity shaped by the presence of the large University Hospital of Wales, one of the city’s biggest employers, and its proximity to university amenities; historically it grew up from heathland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today it’s a mixed community of families, students and professionals, with active local clubs and a quiet, suburban feel despite being close to the city centre.
