Church Village

About

Church Village is a residential ward located in the Taff Ely area of Rhondda Cynon Taf. It functions primarily as a commuter settlement for Cardiff and Pontypridd, with a layout centred around its main road. The community includes local shops, schools, and several housing estates developed through the 20th century. The topography is characterised by gentle slopes at the edge of the South Wales Valleys, transitioning from the more urbanised valley floor.

A notable local landmark is the Church Village Bypass, a major dual carriageway that significantly altered the area's transport geography. The ward retains a distinct village character with its historic St. John the Baptist Church at its core. Surrounding green spaces include Parc Glyn Eirias and smaller playing fields, providing recreational areas within the built environment. The settlement pattern is linear, following the historic route between Llantrisant and Pontypridd.
