Great connections
The village is tucked away from the M4, a few minutes’ drive from Junction 34, and connected by the A4199. It’s less than half an hour’s drive into Cardiff.

On the home front

There’s a pharmacy, a GP Surgery, a post office and a bi-lingual primary school. Nearby Talbot Green adds a Tesco Extra, an Asda and the shops of the Talbot Green Shopping Park. One of the focal points of the village is the recreation ground where you can join in with archery, cricket, football, petanque and tennis.

Further afield
Cardiff is of course, your port of call for city life, for work, for entertainment and leisure, for sport and for great shopping trips. It’s a vibrant city, all the more so because of the student population that goes with university life. The Principality Stadium is perhaps it’s most obvious claim to fame as it's home to the Welsh national rugby team. For a day by the sea, Barry is a family-fun seaside resort, 11 miles due south. The Brecon Beacons are on the horizon and so if you head uphill, you’ll be in the national park in just over an hour, for dramatic scenery and fantastic walking and biking trails.
