Welcome to Llantwit Fardre!

Croeso and welcome to Llantwitfardre.com. This is a community website covering Llantwit Fardre, Tonteg and Church Village. Llantwit Fardre is a vibrant diverse village in the historic county of Rhondda Cynon Taff, a short hop from Cardiff with excellent transport links and an improving infrastructure. Llantwit Fardre has the best of both worlds! Its semi-rural location means green open spaces are plentiful and beautiful countryside on your doorstep, but with the convenience of being half an hour’s drive from the bustling metropolis of Cardiff, and its myriad of attractions.

Llantwit Fardre is the home of the Famous Gwynt Y Ddraig farmhouse cider, Gilbern Cars, Neil Jenkins, Amy Wadge, and the Church Village Bypass. With a leisure centre, numerous sports clubs and plenty of welcoming cafés and pubs there is always something going on.

This website is meant for all and has been designed to act as a forum for local news and events as well as collating and documenting both historical and contemporary photos of the local area for residents and future generations.
