The peninsula was an island until the 1880s when it was linked to the mainland as the town of Barry expanded. This was partly due to the opening of Barry Docks by the Barry Railway Company. Established by David Davies, the docks now link up the gap which used to form Barry Island.
The area around Barry Island shows extensive evidence of human occupation. Mesolithic or Middle Stone Agemicrolith flint tools have been found at Friars Point on Barry Island and near Wenvoe, and Neolithic or New Stone Age polished stone axe-heads were discovered in St. Andrews Major. As the area was heavily wooded and movement would have been restricted, it is likely that people also came to what was to become Wales by boat, apparently from the Iberian Peninsula. They cleared the forests to establish pasture and to cultivate the land.
Barry Island is an island lying in the centre of the Debenham Islands, off the west coast of Graham Land. Barry Island was charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Riddoch Rymill, who used Barry Island for a base in 1936 and 1937. Barry Island was named by John Riddoch Rymill for Kenneth Barry Lempriere Debenham (1920–43), the eldest son of Frank Debenham, member of the British Graham Land Expedition Advisory Committee (BGLE Advisory Committee). The Argentinian base San Martín is located on this island.
Barry Island was a Butlin's, latterly Majestic Holidays, holiday camp located on Barry Island in Wales. It opened in 1966 and closed in 1996.
History
Barry Island (Welsh:Ynys y Barri) is a small seaside resort in the Bristol Channel (Mor Hafren) about 9 miles (14km) south by south west of Cardiff, (Welsh:Caerdydd), south Wales. Until 1896, when a rail link was completed from the mainland, the only access to Barry Island was either by foot across the sand and mud at low tide, or, when the tide was in, by Yellow Funnel Line paddle steamer. Over 150,000 visitors were recorded arriving one August Bank Holiday weekend, mostly by train. Further tourist attractions were developed on the island, and by 1934, the number of visitors to the fairground during the August Bank Holiday week was over 400,000.
Butlins
Billy Butlin's inspiration for his holiday empire came from a less than happy holiday to Barry Island in his youth, when he'd been locked out of his B&B all day by his landlady. He finally decided to build one of the Butlins Holiday Camps at Barry Island.

Barry Island, A FANTASTIC Welsh Beach Resort
Barry (Barri) Island, is a fantastic Beach Resort in South Wales, on a Peninsula in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Located on a train line from Cardiff, and on the Bristol Channel it is about 3 hours from London.
In the mid-20th century Barry Island was the 3rd most popular holiday destination in the UK, with Butlins Holiday camp and the fantastic Barry Island beach. It is now however perhaps more famous for being the setting for the famous BBC comedy sitcom, Gavin and Stacey.
Located close to Cardiff, and opposite Westin-super-Mare, Barry is not a typical Victorian seaside town, as it did not exist in the Victorian period. In earlier times it was famous as the birth place of 6th century Saint Baruc, and became an island of Holy pilgrimage. More recently it was infamous as the centre of pirate ...

Now it is a fantastic little British Seaside Resort, and whilst not Victorian, is a perfect example of British life and Holiday pursuits of the 20th and 21st century. Well worth a visit for both domestic and foreign tourists, either for a day to enjoy the amazing beach and Barry Pleasure Park, or for a longer stay as a base to explore the attractions the Vale of Glamorgan and South Wales have to offer.
