Barry Island Pleasure Park, Amusement park in Barry Island, Wales
The coastal entertainment venue features multiple fairground rides, attractions, and food outlets across its waterfront location in South Wales.
The park began operations in 1897 and underwent significant expansion after the 1896 construction of a railway extension increased visitor accessibility.
The park gained additional recognition through its appearance in the television series Gavin & Stacey, becoming a destination for show enthusiasts.
The facility operates during weekends from Easter through September, with daily opening hours throughout the summer school holiday period.
The park once contained one of Britain's largest wooden roller coasters, featuring a mile-long track and a 72-foot initial climbing section.
