Barry is a town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, on the north coast of the Bristol Channel approximately 7 miles south-southwest of Cardiff. Barry is a seaside resort, with attractions including several beaches and the resurrected Barry Island Pleasure Park.
Once a small village, Barry has absorbed its larger neighbouring villages of Cadoxton and Barry Island. Barry grew significantly from the 1880s with the development of Barry Docks, which in 1913 was the largest coal port in the world. The place was possibly named after Saint Baruc.
Barry is the administrative centre of the Vale of Glamorgan, and home to Barry Town United F.C. Although still a port, Barry is more of a manufacturing town and as a service centre for the Vale of Glamorgan. Barry Docks and the adjoining industrial area form the largest employment centre in the town.
To the west of Barry is Porthkerry Park. This is a large area of open space, with woodlands, streams, and access to a pebbly beach. In the park is the former Barry Railway Company viaduct with 13 arched spans standing 110 ft high. Following the closure of the Vale of Glamorgan line to passengers between Barry and Bridgend in 1964, it was reopened on 10th June 2005 and for most of its 19 miles, provides a scenic view and link to Llantwit Major and beyond to Bridgend.
The Barry Island peninsula was an island until the 1880s when it was linked to the mainland as the town of Barry expanded. This was partly due to the opening of Barry Dock by the Barry Railway Company. Established by David Davies, the docks now link up the gap which used to form Barry Island. There is a railway station to access the island at Barry Docks, there is also a heritage railway station which houses refurbished steam passenger trains. The railway is open to the public and holds events involving a large steam engine replica of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Barry Island is now known for its beach and Barry Island Pleasure Park. From 1966, the island was home to a Butlins Holiday camp, which was closed in 1987 and taken over by Majestic Holidays who renamed it Barry Island Resort. The preserved Vale of Glamorgan Railway runs on Barry Island. From the late 1960s onwards, Woodhams Yard, Barry was home to hundreds of British Rail steam locomotives that were due to be scrapped.

Barry, Vale of Glamorgan
Barry is a town and community in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales. It is located along the northern coast of the Bristol Channel less than 7 miles south-southwest of Cardiff,the capital city of Wales. Barry is a seaside resort, with attractions including several beaches and formerly Barry Island Pleasure Park. Once a small village, Barry has absorbed its larger neighbouring villages of Cadoxton and Barry Island. It grew significantly from the 1880s with the development of Barry Docks, which in 1913 was the largest coal port in the world.
The place was possibly named after Saint Baruc. However another explanation is that it comes from the Welsh bar meaning a hill or rise. Therefore the Welsh name, Y Barri, means 'The Hills. Given Barry's geography, it is an apt description. The first reference to it being named after St Baruc is from Giraldus Cambriensis. Gerald was himself from Barry and describes the area thus:

Dunraven Bay South Wales by drone HD
As Southerndown, along with nearby Ogmore-by-Sea, is a west-facing beach (and hence on the Atlantic coast), off-shore winds from the East generate much good-quality surf, helped by the warming effects of the Gulf Stream.
There are actually two beaches separated by a headland. On the headland are the remains of Dunraven Castle (in Welsh: Castell Dwnrhefn).

Southerndown Cliffs Survey
Southerndown Cliffs Survey. This aerial video allows us to look at the Cliffs from a different perspective. It also makes evident the Clouds of brown silt in the water and.........clearer water in Greeny blue shade beyond the silty clouds further out from the shoreline. People should realise. The brown water is only close to the shores. It’s not pollution and never was. It is the silt that comes down our rivers and settles in the sand. Wind tide and waves kicks it up again like under water dust. In the calm of summer this silt settles and we get clearer waters. Rather than the silt being pollution it probably is full of nutrients and is good for the skin just like a ........mud face pack. The only pollution our beaches suffer now are plastics and stupid people who leave doggy bags hanging on a bush because they seem to think someone is employed to take THEIR dog muck home. There is no Dog Muck collectors employed in Britain so please….It’s your dog, take responsibility for it and take your dog muck home. You are giving Dog owners a bad name.
