Barry Island (Welsh: Ynys y Barri) is a peninsula and it is in South Wales. It is named after the 6th century Saint Baruc. Barry's stretch of coast has the world's second highest tidal range of 15 metres (49 ft).

The peninsula was an island until the 1880s. This was partly due to the opening of Barry Docks by the Barry Railway Company.

Although Barry Island used to be home to a Butlins Holiday Camp, it is now known more for its beach and Barry Island Pleasure Park.

In films

The holiday camp was used to film scenes in the "Shangri-La" holiday camp in the Doctor Who serial Delta and the Bannermen. The island was also the place wher they did film Doctor Who in the 2005 series episodes "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances", standing in for the 2014 series episode "Flatline".

The 1987 horror film Bloody New Year  fun fair scenes are filmed in the area.

The BBC television series Gavin & Stacey is partly set and filmed in Barry Island.

The Island also served as the setting for Pleasure Park on ITV Wales as part of the It's My Shout short film series. Part of the Island including the Pleasure Park was used in the serial The Mad Woman in the Attic, part of the third series of the Sarah Jane Adventures.

The third, fourth and fifth series of the BBC supernatural drama Being Human were set and filmed in Barry, and were aired in early 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively.

The film Submarine was partly filmed in Barry and the"Warship Class" from the 2008 debut album by Silvery is set in Woodham Brothers scrapyard and mentions Barry Island.

History

ts origin from Barry Island lie far back in the early medieval period when the Island really was an island . Barry Island was not joined to the mainland until the very end of the 19th-century. Until the navvies arrived, in the 1880s, to excavate the great docks, the Island stood aloof in Barry sound.

Castle:

Caerphilly Castle is located north of Cardiff and is the largest castle complex in Wales.

It was built between 1268 and 1271 as a result of a dispute with the Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd.

Although not all parts of Caerphilly are well preserved, it is still an wonderful sight today.

After Windsor Castle, Caerphilly Castle is the second largest castle in Britain.

The first of its kind, it is surrounded by two ring walls and artificial lakes: an impressive medieval bulwark.

But one flaw in particular makes the castle so special: the south-east tower was badly damaged in the 17th century and now leans more than the Tower of Pisa.

🖼️Pictures of the Castle

Cheese:

In Caerphilly there are not only castles but also cheese.

Caerphilly is a crumbly hard cheese made from cow's milk that originated in Wales.

The cheese takes its name from the town of Caerphilly in the south of Wales.

Covering 30 acres, Caerphilly Castle is one of the greatest and largest surviving castles in Wales.

360 Models was approached by Cadw: who are the Welsh Government Historic environment service to help bring life back into their models, now currently displayed in the inner gateway of Caerphilly Castle.

Repairs have been made to all 3 models, including colour changes, adding texture and tone to the originals. The primary models are made out of foam and plaster so extra care was taken in making sure that the detail and unique design were kept unaltered. These models depict the stages of development from medieval times allowing visitors to view a detailed close up of how it was before the castles current state.

Popular people of the castle:

In 1317 Edward II of England settled the inheritance of Glamorgan and Caerphilly Castle on Eleanor de Clare, who had married the royal favorite, Hugh le Despenser. Edward II, he died in 1327 ant the age of 43

Edward II was the king of England, lord of Ireland and duke of Aquitaine. He was the first heir to the throne to hold the title of Prince of Wales and the first English monarch to be deposed since the Norman Conquest in 1066

Located in Mid-Glamorgan, Wales, Caerphilly Castle was built in the 13th century by Gilbert de Clare. When the castle was constructed, Gilbert ensured it was surrounded by water as an added layer of defense. He noticed the significance of water defenses in 1266 during a lengthy siege at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire in England.

Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, who died on the 11.december of 1282 in a suburb of builth Wells and only became 59 was the last ruler of an autonomous Wales from 1246 to 1282, before it was conquered by Edward I of England. In English he is therefore also called "Llywelyn the Last", in Welsh also "Llywelyn, our last ruler". Sometimes we also find the designations Llywelyn III.. or Llywelyn II.

Eleanor de Clare was an English noblewoman. She was the wife of Hugh le Despenser. After the death of her brother, she was one of the heirs of the Clare family

Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester and 7th Earl of Hertford was an English nobleman. He was the last male member of the main line of the Anglo-Norman Clare family. After his death at the Battle of Bannockburn, there was a division of his estates.

John Crichton-Stuart, 4th Marquess of Bute KT, was a British nobleman and politician.

The Culture and History:

History

Culture:

Caerphilly is featured in the  Pistols documentary The Filth and the Fury. Protests and a prayer meeting were held outside the Castle Cinema on the evening of 14 December 1976, when the Pistols were playing a concert there. However, at this point in time, Caerphilly was one of the few councils that would allow the group to perform (Leeds and Manchester being the others). The castle of Caerphilly was used as a filming location for Merlin and the Doctor Who episodes The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People (2011).

Caerphilly hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1950.

There are a number of notable figures who grew up in Caerphilly. These include comedian Tommy Cooper, Newport County midfielder David Pipe, Juventus and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, as well as Cardiff City F. C. and Wales footballer Robert Earnshaw, whose family relocated to the town from Zambia.

The town has a rugby union club, Caerphilly RFC, who play in Division Two East of the Welsh National League.

The town has hosted two food fairs, the Caerphilly Food Festival, which is held on the streets of the town, and the Big Cheese Festival, which has been held in and around Caerphilly Castle every summer since 1998. Visitor numbers reached 80,000 in 2012.The event includes a wide variety of cheese stalls as well as a funfair, fireworks and a cheese race around the castle.

It hosts a fundraising musical event called Megaday. In the Winter there is also the Festival of Light, which involves the procession of hundreds of lanterns through the centre of the town.

In 2012 Caerphilly County's only art gallery, Y Galeri, opened in St Fagan's Street in the town centre. It was part of plans to build a wider Arts Centre with exhibitions, workshops and talks.

Caerphilly is home to two of major Welsh agricultural shows.  Machen Agricultural Show is usually held on the first Saturday of July, and Bedwellty Agricultural Show, which is now held at the prestigious grounds of Llancaiach Fawr Manor, during August.   Both events showcase the agricultural heritage of the county.

The summary: Caerphilly is a town and community in South Wales, at the southern end of the Rhymney Valley. It is the largest town in Caerphilly County Borough, within the historic borders of Glamorgan, on the border with Monmouthshire. At the 2011 Census, the town had a population of 41,402 while the wider Caerphilly Local Authority area has a population of 178,806.It is a commuter town for Cardiff and Newport, 7.5 miles (12 km) and 12 miles (19 km) away respectively, and is separated from the Cardiff suburbs of Lisvane and Rhiwbina by Caerphilly mountain. The town is perhaps best known outside of Wales for Caerphilly cheese.

Caerphilly is also a town and community in South Wales, at the southern end of the Rhymney Valley. It is the largest town in Caerphilly County Borough, within the historic borders of Glamorgan, on the border with Monmouthshire.

The Tale of the dragon:

Many thousands of years ago, in a time of dragons, witches and giants, a great King of Wales was walking in the deep, dark caves at Dinas Emrys. The King was lost. He had been walking for days in the cave’s deep, dark chambers. His hunger was growing — so imagine his relief when he stumbled upon a large egg, gleaming in the darkness. Now, in those days it was said that any creature who would eat a dragon would immadiently trun into one. The King knew this. But he also knew how rare dragon eggs were. And by this point on his long journey, he was too hungry to care. The King cracked the egg open and ate it. Then, BANG! In a puff of smoke, the King was gone and in his place stood an enormous dragon. Now, as everyone knows, dragons rather like dark — so he found the cave very pleasant. But after many years, he grew tired of seeing the same cave. So the Dragon emerged from the cavernous caves, rose high above Dinas Emrys and flew south, in the search for a new home. The Dragon flew around for several hours before he spotted some huge stone walls. He flew down to discover and landed on the stone walls of an epic castle. It was the Caerphilly Castle. Dragons like having towers to climb and dungeons to hide in. And this Dragon was no exception to the rule. He spent hours exploring the castle grounds before he fell asleep. The following morning, he woke up to a sea of humans. By chance, he had landed at Caerphilly castle in time for St David’s Day — a day of national celebration in Wales. He felt rather afraid at first but he needn’t have done — Welsh people have always been fond of dragons. And a Dragon hadn’t been seen in Wales for many centuries, so the humans were very excited. As the day went on, the crowds grew and grew. The humans were so happy to see the dragon that they decided to name him Dewi — after their patron saint— and invited him to live at Caerphilly castle immidiately. And so, he flew to the  grounds and guarded the walls passion for an entire spring season…
