Fab place to visit, with its array of shops, bars and restaurants and the incredible Millennium Centre.My husband is disabled and uses a mobility scooter, so the barrage walk was great. It was so good to see people of all ages enjoying the fresh air and exercise. Lots of places for the children to use their new scooters and bikes and for families to walk together. Plenty of room, even though it was quite busy. A wonderful asset for the area.

This is a very nice area for a walk and stroll through the shops and restaurants. One can also get a white water rafting experience or take a water taxi to Cardiff Castle. Lots of open space for kids to run about and have fun
4. Bangor Garth Pier

I call it the Secret Pier because many would never imagine Bangor in North Wales even possessed a pier. But yes, it is approx 470 metres in length and believed to be the nineth longest in England & Wales. Built by the victorians and completed in 1896 it fulfilled the ambitions of the many to "walk on water," to relax and be entertained. To this day it provides stunning views across the Menai Straits towards the Isle of Anglesey and looking back you can view a backdrop of the Welsh mountains. How to unlock the Secret. Travel along the A5 (Beach Road) at the far end of the City. The road has a sharp right hand bend. There, look for Garth Road, a narrow side exit leading away and lined with an array of houses. Along Garth Road for a short distance will lead you to the pier. Well worth a visit, not only to take you back in time 123 years. Yet to this day in gratitude to an ongoing program of maintenance there is still a special feeling Walking on Water. To the traveller, well worth a visit.

This is an excellent beach, with plenty of places to walk to, remembering to watch the tide. 2 excellent gastro pubs, Ship Inn and the Boatyard. We had an excellent family meal for 9 on 2 tables, outside under the gazebo of the Boatyard. The food and service were first class, with other diners "socially spaced"
6. Pontymoile Basin

Finally stopped here for breakfast on the way back from our frequent canal walks. We both had bacon, sausage and black pudding rolls from the barge café. So cheap and the bacon was actually cooked properly, which is normally rare. Not too chewy, not fatty, just about right, and so soft. There's clean public toilets and free parking too, and such lovely long, picturesque walks with good wheelchair access although the bridge could be a problem for some wheelchair users as could the path that isn't tarmacked. A local haunt that is used by locals, tradesmen, walkers, cyclers, boaters and travellers alike.

This is the typical quintessential tourist resort harbour with small fishing boats and rowing boats but with much more. The area is well - kept, surrounded with pastoral coloured buildings narrow streets and good food and drink outlets. Recommend Simply Seafood for a taste of Tenby and the Cardey / St Margaret Island cruise. Entrance to the Castle and South Beach nearby.

Beautiful views, plenty of seating and a particularly attractive pier with great chips and gorgeous ice cream (Joe’s) as well. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and clearly very popular with locals of all ages, which was really nice to see.
