3. Whitmore Bay & Promenade, Barry Island, Glamorgan: Gavin & Stacey
Anyone familiar with Gavin & Stacey will know exactly where I mean here. The whole gang head up to Whitmore Bay to spend a day at the beach (where Stacey works at 'Marco's Coffee and Ice Cream Bar') to take Gavin's mind off the fact that him and Stacey may not be able to have children. As well as this, just a short walk from the beach are many different filming locations, such as the houses of Stacey, Doris and Uncle Bryn, Dave's Coaches and the arcade in which Nessa works (Island Leisure Amusement Arcade). On top of this, Whitmore Bay itself is a wonderful place to visit and offers other attractions in the late summer such as Street Theatres, Live Music and Funairs, as well as traditional fish and chip shops. A visit to Whitmore Bay would make a great day out for the whole family and also allow you to claim the fact that you have been to the exact spot where the final scene of the Gavin & Stacey franchise was filmed.
