Cardiff Bay Barrage

Absolutely fantastic, the structure created for the sea ferry and crossing takes your breath away. We walked around the Bay following the Bay walkway and saw some amazing views over the bay. The wildlife is phenomenal

The view here is superb! You can see the barrage itself, including how the bridge lifts to allow boats to pass through. It's also interesting to observe the water level rising and falling in the barrage.

My first trip to see the Cardiff Bay barrage and I was impressed. There is a spacious car park next to the lock which is inexpensive/ You can watch boats going in and out of the lock either going to or from their safe moorings behind the barrage. One or two of the buildings look like they need an overall but the modern buildings are in keeping with the area and have done a lot to rejuvenate the area. There are special car parks for boat owners to park their vehicles when visiting their craft. There are also coffee shops and restaurants to visit too.

Great simple enjoyable trip out. Two mile walk along traffic free road to or from Penarth. Witnessed the locks and bridges open, was fun. Really lovely walk on a pleasant sunny day. Bike hire available too if your not fancying the walk. An unexpected delight.

Great start for a walk across the barrage. Plenty of parking, though be careful as many of the car parks are operated by a notorious local parking company. Locks are interesting to watch when in use and are quite busy. An "optical illusion" is painted in yellow on the locks visible from the yellow X at the barrier to lock 3.

We went on a bay trip to Flat Holm . The trip was very well organised . Well, worth a visit and the island is seeped in history. You can go on a free guided tour for an and the guide was very informative 👌. Alovely day.

Great walk across the bay. Unfortunately, it's not pleasant to walk at night or early morning, and people walking inconsiderately can make it feel more congested than it is. There's an ice cream stop, coffee shops and Tiger yard on the Cardiff end, and occasionally water vendors on hot days. There's also an Olympic public workout spot half-way around.

A long nice walk alongside the barrage, you can experince the lifting of bridge and even you can watch large ships nearby
