Bendricks Rock

Bendricks Rock

Sully Island
Barry, CF62
Open: All year round
Cost: Free public access
The Bendricks, just east of Barry, South Wales, is the only known Upper Triassic dinosaur footprint site in Britain and the most extensive trackway site in the country. Prior to 1996 all the trackways discovered both in the Bendicks and elsewhere in South Wales were of animals walking with a bipedal gait but in the autumn of that year a quadrupedal trackway was found on the surface of a fallen block at the eastern end of the section, below high tide level.
