Fishing near Barry, Wales


Barry sits on the Vale of Glamorgan coast, looking out across the Bristol Channel — one of the most tide-swept stretches of water in the world. The town is primarily a sea fishing destination, with the Docks, Old Harbour, beach marks at Cold Knap, Whitmore Bay, Jacksons Bay, Little Island Bay and Watch House Bay, and rock marks including Friar's Point and Bendrick Rock all within easy reach. Nell's Point headland adds further accessible shore fishing. Inland, the River Thaw and Cadoxton River are close by, and the River Taff is a short drive away.
