The steady whisper of waves from the nearby Glamorgan Heritage Coast drifts across this well-established caravan and campervan park, where salt-tinged breezes and the cries of wheeling gulls create a distinctly coastal atmosphere. Fontygary Leisure Park sits between Barry and Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, perfectly positioned for exploring South Wales's dramatic coastline and historic market towns.
This is a straightforward leisure park suited to caravanners and motorhomers seeking a base along this less-trampled stretch of the Welsh coast. The location offers easy access to fossil-hunting beaches, clifftop walks, and the attractions of the Vale of Glamorgan, with Cardiff and the Brecon Beacons within comfortable touring distance.
The park operates with policies worth checking on arrival—campfires require confirmation and those travelling with dogs should enquire beforehand about the current pet policy. It's the kind of place that favours simplicity over bells and whistles, offering a practical stopping point where the main attraction is the spectacular coastline waiting just beyond the park gates.
