About

Lisvane sits on the northern edge of Cardiff, close to the boundary with the Caerphilly county borough. The village core is built around St Denys Church, which contains medieval fabric and anchors a small conservation area of stone cottages and a village green. Housing in Lisvane ranges from Victorian terraces to later suburban developments; many streets step up the hillside, giving regular views across the city towards the Severn Estuary. Local administration is handled by the Lisvane and Thornhill community council, and day-to-day life centres on a handful of shops, a post office and community facilities rather than larger commercial centres.

Transport links are geared to commuters: Lisvane & Thornhill railway station is on the Cardiff–Rhymney line, and local roads connect to the A48 and the city ring. The landscape around the village includes pockets of woodland and former farmland that have been absorbed as residential plots, and water-management features from the 19th century remain visible in drainage lines and embankments around the higher ground. Community events tend to use the village hall and churchyard as focal points.
