Cardiff Lawn Tennis Club (Cardiff)

 tennis court(s), tennis club

Cardiff Lawn Tennis Club (often refered to as The Castle Club) was founded in 1888 and was originally known as “The Racquet Club”, it was situated in Westgate Street at what is now the Welsh Rugby Union souvenir shop.

The tennis club moved to its present location in Cardiff Castle’s grounds in 1923, and in 1947 when the Marquis of Bute handed over the Castle, Bute Park and other sections of land to the citizens of Cardiff he ensured the preservation of the tennis club by granting it a 999 year lease.

Cardiff Lawn Tennis’ Club House was extended in 1985 and has recently been refurbished and modernised. Boasting excellent facilities – four acrylic, three artificial grass and four ‘all weather’ tennis courts (all floodlit) – and its picturesque location, it is easy to see why Cardiff Lawn Tennis Club, justifiably, has the reputation of the finest tennis club in Wales ...
