Cardiff Bay Barrage

Cardiff Bay Barrage is perfect for a relaxing stroll or bike ride, situated in a stunning maritime setting with spectacular views over the Severn Estuary, and just a short trip from Cardiff city centre. The Barrage and the surrounding areas are one of Cardiff free attractions with lots of things to see and do along the way.

Perfect for a family day out, the Barrage embankment is situated in a stunning maritime setting and offers spectacular views over Cardiff Bay and the Severn Estuary. Thanks to its flat gradient and lack of steps, it’s accessible for all visitors.

A variety of leisure activities take place along the Barrage embankment at the children’s play area, Skate Plaza and adiZone outdoor gym. Visitors can also peruse the free exhibitions, have a sit down and selfie with the Enormous Crocodile, and take a pit-stop at the RSPB-run Hafren Café.

Cardiff Bay Barrage is part of the Wales Coast Path.
