Vale of Glamorgan
About Barry
A coastal town on the Vale of Glamorgan, once one of the busiest coal ports in the world and now best known for Barry Island. It is the most southerly town of any size in Wales.
Like everywhere else in Wales, Barry keeps Greenwich Mean Time from late October to late March and British Summer Time for the rest of the year. There is no local time variation anywhere in the country, but daylight is a different matter. At the June solstice Barry receives roughly 1 minutes less daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further south.
Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 51m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 37m at midsummer, a difference of more than 8 hours.
