The Barrage connects Penarth to the Cardiff peninsula. It offers stunning views across the sea to one side, and the freshwater bay on the other. One of the highlights of the Cardiff Bay tour

Every day, this narrow crossing offers a new perspective on life. It's a unique place where you feel enveloped in blue. Love it!

The Garth has a nice flat top with views across the valleys. Lots of sheep grazing too (March). Also a number of mounds provide some cover from the wind if a break is in order

Cardiff Bay Barrage is a significant engineering project located in Cardiff, Wales. Completed in 1999, the barrage was built to create a freshwater lake in Cardiff Bay by damming the River Taff and the River Ely. This project transformed the bay area, which was previously a tidal estuary, into a more controlled water environment. Key Features and Purpose: Tidal Control: The barrage helps manage tidal flows, preventing flooding and allowing for the creation of a stable freshwater environment. Recreation and Tourism: The area around the barrage has been developed for recreational use, including walking and cycling paths, boating, and various leisure activities. It has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Environmental Impact: The construction of the barrage altered the local ecosystem. While it created new habitats in the freshwater lake, it also raised concerns about the impact on marine life in the estuary. Hydropower Generation: The barrage includes a small power station that harnesses tidal energy, contributing to renewable energy production. Economic Development: The project played a crucial role in the regeneration of Cardiff Bay, leading to significant investment and development in the area, including residential, commercial, and cultural projects. The Cardiff Bay Barrage is often noted for its engineering complexity and its role in transforming the landscape and economy of Cardiff.

Caerphilly Mountain is located in the Vale of Glamorgan in Caerphilly and stands at 271 m above sea level. There are some magnificent panoramic views on offer here across Cardiff and Caerphilly, Feet, and on a sunny day, even over to Flat Home and Steep Home Islands, a pair of welsh islands lying in the Bristol Channel.

Cardiff Bay Barrage was completed in 1999, following a huge construction project. Stretching from Cardiff Docks to Penarth, the barrage impounds freshwater from the rivers Ely and Taff to create a large freshwater lake, providing permanent high water.

Some wonderful things to see in the bay. Particularly liked the Roald Dahl enormous crocodile

Good place for a stroll or poodle on the bike. Decent section of the Bay cycle path for younger riders.
