Penarth
Penarth is a town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It is situated 5.2 miles south west from the city centre of the Welsh capital city of Cardiff and it is on the north bank of the Severn Estuary at the southern end of Cardiff Bay. With a population of 22083, it is the 2nd largest town in the Vale of Glamorgan, coming second to the administrative centre of Barry, and Penarth is the seaside resort with the most wealth in the Cardiff Urban Area. The town was a greatly popular vacation area during most of the Victorian period, typically described as 'The Garden by the Sea', with the highest percentage of visitors journeying from the Midlands and the West County, in addition to day trippers from the South Wales valleys who travelled by train. While the town continues to be a popular vacation destination in the summer, with its traditional seafront largely unchanged, the amount of visitors is much lower than was typical in between the Victorian period and the middle of the 20th century, particularly once cost effective package holidays overseas came to be available. However, the town holds on to a large retired population, representing over 25 percent of locals, and it is predominantly a dormitory town for Cardiff commuters. Nevertheless, landmarks and tourist attractions continue to preserve a steady flow of visitors to the town over the course of the year. Cosmeston Lakes County Park has been a popular choice ever since its establishment in the 1970s, which has acres of walks and woodlands on the heath. Cosmeston Mediaeval Village, which showcases historical re-enactments, allows visitors to explore a reconstruction of a historic village and has been described as the best of its type in Britain.
