Summer's on the horizon, and with it comes the itch for an adventure.

A stone throw away from Penarth station, you'll find the start of the old railway path, a hidden gem transformed into a peaceful walking and cycling route. Perfect for a rail-to-trail escape, this scenic path is ideal for families.

Did you know that kids can travel for free with a fare paying adult.. well now that’s a good deal!

The path winds its way towards the idyllic Cosmeston Lakes. This picturesque park boasts two lakes, perfect for a picnic or a spot of wildlife watching.

Ready for an adventure? Why not explore the Cosmeston Medieval Village whilst you’re here (a short walk from the lakes), a fascinating glimpse into the past. It is one of Wales' leading open-air museums and a popular heritage attraction within the Vale of Glamorgan.

If you have time, consider extending your adventure by exploring more of what the area has to offer. Don't miss a stroll down iconic Penarth Pier. Feel the cool sea breeze, grab an ice cream (rum and raisin, anyone?), and soak up the panoramic views of the Bristol Channel.

So why not leave the car at home and embark on a summer adventure that you won't forget!
