Llantwit Major

While Llantwit Major has grown massively in recent years, it’s retained much of its old-world charm, with narrow cobbled streets, an old town hall with a gatehouse and several buildings that date back to the 16th century. Once a respected centre of Christian culture in the Celtic world, today Llantwit Major is known as one of the most attractive places to live in Wales.

Surrounded by lush green countryside with a Jurassic coastline, your new home offers beauty with utility. The town is well-served by B-roads, and its railway station, which was reopened in 2005, offers services to Aberdare via Barry and Cardiff.

Excellent road and rail links 

The B4265 and B4270 meet, connecting you with all the villages and coastal towns between Cardiff and Bridgend. The A48 is just a few miles north, passing through Cowbridge and creating an alternative east-west route to the M4. Your new house is around 20 miles from the M4 - it takes about 40 minutes to drive the 15 miles to Cardiff and 20 minutes to Bridgend (9 miles).

The train is a good alternative, with the journey time into Cardiff taking about 45 minutes and to Bridgend taking just 15 minutes. For flights, Cardiff Airport is only seven miles away, between St Athan and Barry, so you’ll have an escape to the sun on your doorstep. The town has three bus routes, between Bridgend and Barry, to Cardiff via Penarth and to Talbot Green.
