Brief Description:
Barry Island (Ynys y Barri) is a seaside resort on the peninsula of the town of Barry. It was originally an island until the 1880s when it linked to the mainland when the dockland area of Barry was developed. Barry Island is now a holiday destination with its own train station, Pleasure Park, sandy beach and many shops and other activities.
