Where is the Vale of Glamorgan?
The Vale of Glamorgan is in south Wales on the coast between
Cardiff to the east and Bridgend to the west. We have four towns -
Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major and Penarth - as well as the
stunning Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the seaside fun at Barry
Island.
Get here by air
Cardiff Airport is in the Vale of Glamorgan. Find out about
flights at www.tbicardiffairport.com/en/. Once
you are here, you can go green by connecting to local public
transport links.
Get here by train
A rail link at Rhoose connects the airport with routes
along the Vale's coast to Llantwit Major, Barry and Penarth.
If you are coming from elsewhere in Britain you can take trains to
the Vale via Bridgend (if coming from the west) or Cardiff Central
(if coming from the east / north). Further details can be found
