Discover Wales

The Glamorgan Heritage Coast

This is mystic Wales, the land of myth and legend. This is the place of Arthurian sagas, where his body is rumoured to lie, with towering cliffs and a rugged coastline that can be explored by following the Heritage Trail. It’s away from the beaten track too, halfway between Cardiff and Swansea, with many quiet and pretty villages nestling away in the bucolic countryside. It also has its fair share of larger towns towards the coast with seaside resorts like Barry and Penarth proving an ever popular draw during the summer time.

Penarth

A small, genteel town between Cardiff and Barry, Penarth is quite different to them both. Often called ‘the garden by the sea’ due the large number of Italian gardens overlooking the Esplanade, it’s very much a Victorian and Edwardian seaside resort - complete with a recently restored pier. There is also the Turner House Art Gallery to enjoy and Cardiff Bay is just a mile long walk over the Barrage away.
