Sleepy piggy!
Can anyone tell me the name of the caravan/permanent mobile home park to the rear of the Captains Wife Pub at Sully? I an sure I have stayed with friends there recently but cannot find an address for it?

How about "Island View"? It looks familiar. However, there are a couple of caravan parks in close vicinity to Sully Island.

Pieter's link above takes you to the wrong Beach Road by several miles.
OK let's go a little Southwards:

I was really taken by the elegant wrought iron lamposts along the Esplanade. Those further up the hill were more modern and less attractive. My daughter commented on them later too. The elegance of the town. The grey limestone buildings are striking, and particularly I admired the Carnegie Library, though was unable to take a picture- next time.
To gain more of an insight into what makes this town tick, why not check out some of the Penarth websites, or websites with Penarth content...

Cosmeston Park is about 5 miles from Penarth, on the B4267 road , on the way to Sully. The park is in an area where there were once landfill pits. These have now been turned into lakes , and the area has become a park where there are walks through the tree- lined paths, areas of grass-land and wild flowers, and where water birds nest. There are two walks , one of a mile and a half, and a second more difficult. It was a nice to see so many elderly people walking as couples or with a dog, mothers with their babies in prams, as well as younger people, nature photographers, men with remote contolled model ships, and casual visitors like us. There are paths assigned to dogs, and for horses.
There is a cafe with beverages, cakes and sandwiches all at reasonable prices. There is a shop with nature-related souvenirs. It is here that you get the tickets and guide for the Medieval Village [see separate tip]
On a warm sunny day it is a most enjoyable place to spend a few hours.
Warning: swimming is not permitted as the water is dangerous.
Take this little slice of nature as a peaceful little short cut away from the roads.
Directly from beside the Turner House Gallery it goes all the way downhill along the treelined route of a stream past the park and right down to the Esplanade where it comes out just above Penarth Pier.
I've been here all of half an hour and already I know some of the short cuts! LOL.
Cosmeston Country Park consists of acres af unspoilt Countryside centred around a series of lakes which have been created at the site of a disused quarry. It is a haven for wildlife and has been known to attract birdwatchers from far and wide when a rare bird decides to pay a visit. There are many walking trails & cycling paths for you to enjoy here as well as organised wildlife events which take place during the year.
