The owner of Barry Island Pleasure Park, Henry Danter, has purchased a huge "derelict" plot of land near Barry with the hope of transforming it into a holiday camp with accommodation for visitors. Since Mr Danter bought the popular tourist destination in 2015 the park is now home to one of Europe's tallest rides 'Aerospace', and with new rides coming this season, he believes that more accommodation for the parks' visitors couldn't come soon enough.
On Friday, February 10 Mr Danter purchased the 20-acre plot on the coast of Sully, which is only an 11-minute drive from Barry Island. Although he described the area as an "eyesore, derelict piece of land" he decided to purchase it as he loved the view of the sea.
