* * * The Victorian seaside town of Penarth is situated along the South Wales Coast on the Bristol Channel. It is the second largest town within the Vale of Glamorgan after Barry which lies approximately six miles along the coast, closer still is Cardiff - the capital city of Wales. Being so close to the capital, Penarth is ideally situated for holiday makers and business people.

The town itself has a population in excess of 20,000 inhabitants. Its coastal position provides some fine views over the Bristol Channel, including the islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm and the English Coast opposite.
