Barry lies in Glamorgan, now represented by the three
preserved counties of West Glamorgan, Mid Glamorgan and South
Glamorgan in South Wales. The county falls into several distinct
regions with the industrial valleys, the agricultural Vale of
Glamorgan, and the very scenic Gower peninsula. The south of
the county lies on the Bristol Channel and extends west to Carmarthen
Bay. Attractions in the region include historic castles to explore,
the rich culture and heritage of the South Wales Valleys, stunning
scenery in the Brecon Beacons and Vale of Usk, breathtaking walks
along the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the delights of the capital
city of Wales, Cardiff.
