Penarth is a seaside town situated next to Cardiff in South East Wales, and is the second biggest town in the Vale of Glamorgan. With its lovely parks, beautiful seafront gardens and graceful esplanade, Penarth is known as the garden by the sea. The town centre retains an air of Victorian style with elegant buildings bordered by tree-lined roads. Some of the finest examples of Victorian Architecture can be seen in Penarth's churches, public and commercial buildings and in the ornate houses, once the home of the shipowners, coal magnates and master mariners. On Penarth's doorstep is Cardiff Bay, an extensive waterfront regeneration scheme. The Cardiff Bay Barrage, which has cost in excess of £220 million, has created an inland lake as the focal point of a waterside development. The estate agents in Penarth say that alongside the Barrage, nestling in the lee of Penarth Head, is Penarth Marina which has attractive waterfront homes for sale. Other types of property for sale in Penarth include Victorian terraced cottages, modern detached houses, dormer bungalows and substantial Edwardian townhouses.
