Retirement Properties Spotlight in Penarth

Penarth : Penarth is about four miles south of Cardiff on the north shore of the Severn Estuary and remained a small rural community until the mid 19th century. With the development of the South Wales coalfield and its own docks Penarth expanded rapidly and earned its reputation as 'The Garden by the Sea' due to the numerous parks and open spaces incorporated with the town plan. The town developed further as a popular seaside resort with the coming of the railways and has much fine Victorian architecture.
