Dinas Powys
A large village surrounded by countryside
yet four miles west of Cardiff. There are
excellent road and rail links with the M4
just fifteen minutes and the increasingly
popular bay area, five. A residential area
with good schools and recreational facilities
including golf, tennis and of course, rugby.
This along with cricket is played on the common
which is just off the old village square.
Here are a selection of shops and traditional
public houses. If you are seeking a peaceful
area yet need to be close to the city, this
is the place to be.
Wenvoe
A small residential village west of Cardiff
with good access to the M4 and Cardiff Wales
International airport at Rhoose. There is
a school of primary age and general village
store. Culverhouse Cross with more comprehensive
facilities is less than five minutes driving
distance. In the centre of the village is
the main public house with others on its fringes.
A pleasant village with a broad mix of housing
styles.
Penarth & Llandough
A seaside town predominantly built in the
Victorian era with the then thriving dock
serving the coal industry. The town is renowned
for its elegant pier and esplanade with a
pleasing mix of restaurants, bars and yacht
club. There are the Italian gardens, established
parks and cliff walk. The town centre offers
very good shopping facilities including banks,
building societies and post office(s). Cogan
is on the northern side with the leisure centre
and nearby supermarket. These facilities are
also within easy reach of Llandough which
is a community in itself with many homes having
commanding views of the City. A comprehensive
area with varying property styles and values.
Sully
A small coastal village situated between Penarth
and the larger town of Barry. Many of the
road names have been taken from places in
Somerset, its coastline on the opposite side
of the channel is visible most days. The village
has its own island opposite a popular waterfront
public house and restaurant. Children attend
the village primary school and later go on
to schools in either nearby Penarth or Cardiff.
There is a general store, post office and
two public houses. Homes here are highly sought
after and are seldom available for long.
