Amenities
Cold Knap is a coastal pebble beach (with some sand at low tide),[1] approximately a mile west of the sandy beach at Barry Island, which attracts visitors during the summer months. It extends generally westwards towards Porthkerry from Cold Knap Point.[2] It was founded by the Romans who used it as a port, and the remains of a Roman building here are now a scheduled monument.[3]
Attractions include a lake shaped like a Welsh harp and a skate park. There was previously an outdoor swimming pool, but this has now been closed and filled in, and the area turned into a tourist trail. There was a campaign to have the lido rebuilt during 2014 but an enthusiastic online campaign (including a Facebook campaign group ("Rebuild the Knap Lido") has not been successful, despite a number of celebrity endorsements (including local BBC weatherman Derek Brockway).[4]
Cold Knap Lake is the title and subject of a poem by Gillian Clarke, which has been included in an English literature GCSE syllabus in England. Cold Knap Point is the site of a sewage pumping station serving Barry.[5] It was also the location of a case in English contract law - Chapelton v. Barry UDC [1940] 1 KB 532 - where a man's deckchair collapsed.
The park is listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[6]
