One of the most popular all year round destinations in Barry, Knap Gardens are an oasis of calm from the wind blowing in from the Cold Knap, with its flower-filled borders, a sunken garden and gently tinkling fountain.

Summer or winter, Knap Gardens is a great place for families and dog walkers to go for a stroll or a bracing walk.

The focal point of the garden is a harp-shaped lake with ducks and swans, and during the summer months, the occasional remote-controlled boat. 

The area around the Knap was designed and developed under the influence of the Garden City movement. There are some pleasant 1920’s houses, another large park and a small number of shops a short distance away.

Please note: Dogs must be on leads as there are swans and ducks in the park.
