About Barry - Location

Part of the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan, Barry is by far the largest town, with a population greater than the other vale towns of Penarth, Cowbridge and Llantwit Major put together. The Vale has a population of around 120,000, more than 40% of whom live in Barry.

Barry is located less than 10 miles west of the centre of Cardiff, and is easily accessed by car, bus and train. For those travelling by car, Barry is probably best reached via junction 33 on the M4, itself less than 10 miles north of the centre of the town. The town boasts no less than four railway stations: Cadoxton, Barry Dock, Barry and Barry Island.

Cardiff International Airport is less than five miles away from the centre of Barry, located in the community of Rhoose and providing access to locations much further afield.
