South Wales Coast and Severn Estuary

Kenfig to Chepstow

Pass three of Wales' largest cities while enjoying magnificent views of the Severn estuary and Glamorgan's heritage coast.

Barry Island

The Wales Coast Path passes right in front of Barry and Barry Island railway stations. From Barry, turn left to discover the delights of Barry Island, or right to head towards Penarth.  From Barry Island, walk down to the seafront and enjoy headland walks by either turning left or right.

Cardiff Bay Station

Alight at Cardiff Bay and join the Wales Coast Path directly across the road  on Lloyd George Avenue. From here you have the option to follow a popular section of the route past the Wales Millennium Centre, the Senedd and across the tidal barrage towards Penarth (where you can catch a train back to Cardiff Central). Or alternatively, cross over onto Hemingway Road to join the path towards the long, isolated sea wall to Newport.

Chepstow

Chepstow sits at the southern end of the Wales Coast Path, and Chepstow railway station couldn’t be more convenient as an access point to the path. Go straight down Station Road from the station to join the Wales Coast Path by the Tesco supermarket. A magnificent 600-year-old castle dominates the pretty market town of Chepstow, and you can get 2-for-1 entry to CADW sites with your train ticket, so why not enjoy both the castle and the Wales Coast Path in the same day?
