An afternoon out from Cardiff on the train. Up and down from the station dodging showers. Good views south, rain clouds approached from north.Moorponder14/07/2023
In Cardiff for the weekend and persuaded my companions to walk up to the church after walking across the barrage.Buck23/07/2022
A 11km traverse from Penarth station to Cardiff with Lesley. Lovely views to Cardiff. We incorporated a route around the wetlands,although it was a bit tame.Dazingdale16/04/2022
On day 2 of doing the Snoopy Trail (Dog's Trust), a beautiful spring day, walked across the barrage and came up here. Very lovely in the sunny churchyard with spring flowers galore.thesweetcheat15/04/2022
Short divert at end of day on the Wales Coast Path, good view down towards Cardiff from up here.nickywood107/02/2022
6 mile run from Cosmeston … interesting old graveyard made more atmospheric as we had a thunder and lightning storm and had been watching Stranger Things last nightmilejunkie11/01/2022
Parked on nearby residential street. Within St Augustine’s church cemetery. Just going dark as lights of bay came on. Also found cut mark at base of tower. Continued down to bay, Marina and barrage- worth a walk.Denise 05/12/2021
Street parking close to church with cut mark and high point in the church yard. Walked down to explore the marina and controversial barrage (which I thought was a great asset to the bay)RichardM05/12/2021
Easy parking outside churchyard.PGCE03/08/2021
At Augustines Church, Penarth. East graveyard. Overgrown and richly, fascinatingly jam packed with such an array of shapes of tombstone memorials of 150 years of family history of deaths and many many leaning at precarious angles.vegibagger23/07/2019
From the Cardiff Bay Barrage, following the coast path uphill, then a short detour into the church grounds, to the high point just to the east of the churchMariana Trench30/06/2019

This is the first time I've ever bagged a hill during a shopping trip! Went into Griffin Books, then Funky Monkey Children's Clothing, up through Belle Vue Park and into St Augustine's churchyard before heading back to the car. Wee Ross walked most of it, but had to put him in the buggy when he threw a tantrum about not being allowed to eat a chocolate wrapper he'd fished out of a puddle. It was so close to being his first hill bag!islamidget07/09/2017
A quick diversion while walking the Wales Coast path up church place south the church yard is heavily over grown .Some lovely views down to Cardiff bay,surprising steep ascent from the coastline.hodder19/06/2017
Revisited the church today having visited it previously to bag the IS trig point but hadn't entered the graveyard. Walked around, bagged the CBM and the high point this time. A nice November day.Father Ted03/11/2016
