Cardiff Bay Jetty Lookout

Highlight • Bridge

This little jetee ends in a wooden platform which puts you over the bay waters, and gives views on the boats moored there, and the Eastern side of the bay

Tip by

2.07 km

Each lock is crossed by a Bascule bridge, to carry pedestrians and vehicles across. These are lifted for boats to pass. The weight of the bridge deck is counterbalanced by an overhead weight on the opposite side of the pivot.
