What visitors say

N Dave

Good view from the top of the hill, though literally nothing apart from that. No good for kids and no garden or park as what the name says.

This place has wonderful view of the Penarth Pier and the coast line. Quiet and peaceful

This is a serene spot in an unlikely place near a housing estate at the rear and a retirement home on the right. But if you're ever looking for a quiet spot where you can see for miles and hear the sea, this is one of the best in Penarth. Sitting on a park bench you're looking down to the pier, along the coast and across to North Devon. Its beautiful. If you're having a stressful day, this is the perfect quiet place for prayer. Behind the benches is a spot where you can have a view of the coast from South East to south west including the Second Severn Crossing around to North Devon (some might venture Cornwall but I don't think so). This is a hidden gem, find it, it's worth it.
