The Penarth Pier Pavilion is the perfect place to start, with stunning views over the River Severn estuary. Offering a year round programme of exhibitions and events, why not return here later in the evening after grabbing a bite to eat in one of the many restaurants in the area, and catch a show before you leave. 

For those seeking a thrilling water adventure, climb aboard a boat with Challenge Wales and experience adrenaline fuelled sailing firsthand - it’s something the whole family can take part in. 

Cosmeston Lakes Country Park provides a sense of calm after your sailing challenge,
with over 100 hectares to meander through, and an impressive variety of flora and fauna. Within the park is the Cosmeston Medieval Village, a hands-on chance to live as our ancestors did. This amazingly realistic attraction will have you interacting with the medieval villagers as they go about their chores - who knows, you might get roped in to help collect eggs or milk a goat!

Penarth has appeared in numerous BBC TV shows as a film location, including Dr Who, Torchwood, Casualty and the cult classic Gavin & Stacey! As you wander around this lovely town, see if you can spot where Uncle Bryn and Ness sing Islands in the Stream!
