The bottle shop is situated just by the train station and on a Saturday evening you can purchase their wonderful wine and beers and sit in and drink it. It is open until 10pm, they have tables and chairs for you to sit on with board games to enjoy. If you are hungry they will even let you get the best takeaway pizza Penarth has to offer from Pizza Pronto (literally around the corner).

Great walks and places to visit
The great thing about staying outside of the city centre and in Penarth are the lovely surrounding areas you can walk to and visit. Here are some of my favorite.
You can access Cardiff Bay either by water taxi, walking down the hill towards Penarth Marina/Custom House or by walking along the waterfront across the Barrage.
The walk takes around 40 minutes, has a few coffee shops to stop off along the way and provides lovely waterside views to enjoy (there are toilets have way too!).
Once you arrive at the bay enjoy lovely bars, restaurants and shops.

When you walk down to visit the Pier make sure you walk through this wonderful park. Stop off and visit the birds and enjoy this beautiful green space, which is ideal for a picnic or a afternoon nap on the grass if the weather is nice.

Around a 20 minute drive from Penarth is the wonderful seaside town of Barry, now famous for Gavin and Stacey. The beach is lovely and well worth heading to for some sea air.
