A separate booked outing outside Barry, with enough time for your chosen estate activities.
A separate family outing with woodland dinosaurs and gardens / NEAR BARRY
Fonmon Castle and Adventure Grounds
Travel to Fonmon for a booked day in the castle estate’s gardens, woodland and family attraction areas. Dinosaur models and themed outdoor features make this a different proposition from simply touring historic rooms. Choose the ticket and date that match what your party wants to do, leaving time for food and the parts of the grounds you enjoy most.
Before you go
Fonmon is outside Barry, near Rhoose. Treat it as a separate road journey and a substantial outing, not a walkable extra between beach stops.
