What an amazing park, that seemed to have everything: wood sculptures, an amazing variety of stunning trees, a viaduct, that you can walk up to and see trains travelling along, a beautiful cafe that seemed very popular, flat mown areas for walking, woods, streams and a boardwalk down to a pebble beach. We stood looking at the viaduct and noticed acorns dropping onto our heads. A ranger walked by and informed us that the acorns were being thrown at us by a group of territorial squirrels! She stated that if we watched for long enough we would see the squirrels throwing acorns at us from the 2 huge majestic oak trees. We only saw one of the squirrel, which we named "Asbo". We also named the other elusive two " Delinquent" & "Thug" Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Myself and my sister, my brother in law and nephew visited here for lunch. We visited for 5.30pm and were shown to our table. We come here quite regularly, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The steaks here are delicious and I was tempted, but we all decided on the Sunday roast. The choice of meats were chicken, beef, pork or lamb. Myself and my sister had the beef and my brother in law had the lamb and my nephew had sausage beans and chips. The dinner was excellent and side dishes were bought out with a selection of veg, such as, cauliflower cheese, green beans, broccoli, and honey glazed carrots. On the plates were the meat, a huge yorkshire pudding, 2 roast potatoes and 1 new potato. There was plenty to eat, and was absolutely delicious! Based on that visit I would definitely book again for Sunday lunch and would highly reccomend it for a Sunday roast or a pub meal.

Myself and my partner drive here from Thornhill most sundays for lunch. The food is superb and home cooked. A choice of meats all cooked to perfection and the honey roast parsnips are amazing! Staff very polite and helpful and always have a smile on their face. Mark the head chef should be proud!

I am updating an earlier review and dedicate ties in memory of Jasmine who was a loved character and was really part of what makes High Street a friendly place to shop. Number one High Street is now "Budding Designs" a flower studio run by Nicola Hopkins who will provide you with bespoke flower arrangements. Further along you will find a cafe and boutiques and the lovely Deli where you can have your sandwich made-to-order. and of course we come to Butterflies where you can get your Yankee Candles, cards and gifts in the capable hands of Jody and Michele who will gift-wrap anything you wish! If you are looking for accommodation then there is Burnette Davies - Isobel will look after you - or - Knights - in the capable hands of Angela. For all your hardware O'Donovans has everything --in fact, if Rory hasn't got it then you don't need it!! For your fruit-and-veg Andrew, Jo and Drew will have what you need. I must mention the Pharmacy and the lovely people there. If you are having a party then visit Dr. Bob's -- ballons and decoration provided and delivered to you order by Bob, Julie and Claire. Then there is the Best-One minimarket in the hands of Tariq for groceries. Not forgetting the long-established butcher Vic Hopkins. Vic is now semi-retired and the business run by his son Anthony. All these traders - and I regret any I have missed this time -- were all loved by Jasmine and they in turn miss her. Don't go out of town -- go to High Street --it has all you need !

We have always loved going to the farm as a family and as soon as it opened after lockdown we booked a space. I found it to be well organised and due to its nature of farm and outdoor trails, the only difference was not being able to use the play area and the barn (closed due to COVID at time of visiting). We’ve been numerous times throughout the years but there we still found new spaces and have never actually done the animal trail before. It’s a lovely place for the children to get outdoors and learn about animals and nature

Barry Island Pleasure Park. A funfair. Under new ownership. Fun for all the family at bargain prices
Reviewed By Shelbegrn - East Garston, United Kingdom
The kids loved it! As great grandparents we're a bit past the thrills of roller coasters but the kids loved all the traditional fairground rides. The ghost train, the roller coasters and bumper cars were all enjoyed. Be warned: It's easy to spend £100 on rides if you have 3 or more kids that want to try everything!
