About

Pentyrch and St Fagans is a largely rural ward on the northwestern edge of Cardiff. It encompasses the historic village of St Fagans, home to the National Museum of History, and the larger settlement of Pentyrch. The area is defined by green spaces like St Fagans Woods and the rural landscape surrounding the River Ely. Residential development is primarily concentrated in these villages, with significant areas of farmland and protected parkland.

The ward contains a notable historical contrast between the preserved past and modern community life. St Fagans National Museum of History features historic buildings relocated from across Wales, offering a tangible link to the nation's heritage. Meanwhile, Pentyrch maintains its own active village identity with local schools and sports clubs. The geography includes the prominent Garth Hill, providing walking routes and views over the Taff Valley towards the city centre.
