Many of the residences have been brought up and now work in Penarth, while others have moved away and are returning to the town.
If you could live anywhere in Penarth, where would it be and why? Paget Road/ Terrace provides spacious properties with superb uninterrupted views of Penarth Marina, The Bay and Cardiff City beyond. The area provides easy access to the town centre and also to the Bay via the barrage.
