Open Homes workspaceAbout Barry
Barry grew rapidly from a small village into a major coal-exporting port in the late 19th century, at one point handling more coal than any other dock in the world. Its seafront resort of Barry Island, with its beach and pleasure park, became a hugely popular holiday destination and is now widely known as the setting for the TV comedy Gavin & Stacey. The largest town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Barry offers a coastal rental market within easy commuting distance of Cardiff.
