Porthkerry Country Park

Reviewed By Guys1982 - Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

What an amazing park, that seemed to have everything: wood sculptures, an amazing variety of stunning trees, a viaduct, that you can walk up to and see trains travelling along, a beautiful cafe that seemed very popular, flat mown areas for walking, woods, streams and a boardwalk down to a pebble beach. We stood looking at the viaduct and noticed acorns dropping onto our heads. A ranger walked by and informed us that the acorns were being thrown at us by a group of territorial squirrels! She stated that if we watched for long enough we would see the squirrels throwing acorns at us from the 2 huge majestic oak trees. We only saw one of the squirrel, which we named "Asbo". We also named the other elusive two " Delinquent" & "Thug" Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Jackson's Bay

Reviewed By peterjones456

We spent most of the day at Jackson Bay beach, which is a lovely spot to enjoy a picnic away from the hustle and bustle of Barry Island. The beach is flat with some rocks and there are great views across the channel. The cove is ideal for families who want an inexpensive day out or for those who want to enjoy the great outdoors. The walk down to the beach is quite steep, but worth it. Parking is available near to the access road to the beach.
