The Bendricks
The Bendricks is a stretch of coastline and an important paleontological site in the Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales located along the northern coast of the Bristol Channel between Barry and Sully at . It lies at the foreshore of the industrial port of Barry between the eastern breakwater of the Barry docks entrance on its western edge to Hayes Point on its eastern edge. This area of the coast is a SSSI.
==Geology and topography==
A promontory of Carboniferous Limestone rock known as Bendrick Rock juts out from the mainland which is completely submerged at the highest spring tide although during a normal tidal period the top of the rock is still visible at high tide. The geology of the Bendricks consists primarily of Keuper Marls and conglomerate formed primarily by deposition of silt at the shoreline of a shallow muddy sea during the Early Triassic and Late Triassic periods.
The man-made estuary of the Cadoxton River now enters the Bristol Channel at this point having been redirected during the construction of Barry Docks by the Barry Railway Company which began in 1884. Inland of the Bendricks are HMS ''Cambria'' 〔(News : HMS ''Cambria'' (Cardiff) : Training Centres : Royal Naval Reserve : Operations and Support : Royal Navy )〕 〔http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/The-Fleet/Maritime-Reserves/Royal-Naval-Reserve/RNR-Units/Cardiff-HMS-Cambria〕 and the former Sully Hospital 〔(Archives Network Wales - Sully Hospital records )〕
