Cardiff Bay Barrage - Penarth

Helpful access to the castle. Helped me when I had engine problems (not neutral possible)

A beautiful place for a walk or a cycle. The Pay-and-Display parking lot usually has places available. Unfortunately, there are no more facilities or cafes at this end (hopefully the cafe will return). The private road leads from Barrage to Cardiff Bay. It is a beautiful, flat walk on a sunny day.

A masterpiece of construction and urban construction makes Cardiff Barrage a fantastic walk, from Mermaid Quay to Penarth, a distance of about one mile and one half. The sea air is really lively, the footpath is well maintained and also has a separate cycle track. There is a wide range of cafés and toilets. If you want to travel by boat, there are several connections from Mermaid Quay. Parking is £ 1.20 per hour, the landscape is worth a visit. Popular among all tourists.

Beautiful walk from the city centre through the Bay Area and around Penarth. Very quiet and relaxing

Sailing out through the barrage is always an easy experience. Professional staff maintain the operation in a friendly manner. Always willing to help if they can. Each lock is very deep, and the pump out is smooth. Once the outer gate opens it is an easy bit of navigation out to the buoyed channel. Returning through the barrage is equally easy, however it is important to ensure that you have good moorings, especially if near the inbound gate. The water does become quite rough.
