About

Penarth

Picture yourself in the pretty pier town of Penarth...

This perfect visit will take in all the picturesque views and experiences Penarth has to offer. A delightful stop along the Wales Coast Path, be sure to include this inviting and friendly seaside town in your travel plans. An added bonus is that it's just a few minutes to Cardiff, and you can easily walk to popular Cardiff Bay and its barrage.

Walk the pleasurable esplanade or pebble beach with an ice-cream in hand, and you can't miss the striking, early 20th century art deco style of Penarth Pier Pavilion, welcoming you to the pier. A walk along the pier in any seaside town is a must, isn't it, and Penarth is no exception. With long views out over the Severn estuary and across to England, it's a great way to experience the waters while keeping your feet dry.

The pavilion itself hosts a variety of exciting and interesting events throughout the year, and if you're considering Penarth for a gathering, you can even hire the lovely 'Room with a View', a unique venue with fantastic views at the top of this iconic building.

Lovely weather for a nice stroll and where better than Penarth's Esplanade with its array of eateries, shops and, of course, the Pier. #penarth
