The area around Barry.
Barry grew as a coal-exporting dock town and a seaside resort, and Barry Island, with its pleasure park and beach, is now known well beyond Wales thanks to television. It is a large town with a lot of Victorian terraces, newer waterfront housing on the old docks and easy links to Cardiff. Summer brings many visitors to the Island. Trades should name districts such as Cadoxton, Colcot and the Waterfront; hospitality needs current seasonal hours and booking details.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Penarth (5 miles), Cowbridge (9 miles) and Llantwit Major (9 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Cardiff (7 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Caerphilly (12 miles), Pencoed (13 miles), Weston-super-Mare (13 miles) and Bridgend (15 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Barry Island, Cadoxton, Colcot, Gibbonsdown, Barry Waterfront, Rhoose, Sully and Dinas Powys: if you work in particular parts of Barry, those names belong on the site.
From our base in Exeter, Barry is about 48 miles to the north. Its postcodes start CF.
