About

Pwll-mawr and St Mellons East form a mainly residential pocket on Cardiff’s eastern edge. The area includes post-war housing and later estate developments arranged around small greens and cul-de-sacs, with a handful of local shopping parades, primary schools, a community centre and sports pitches. The name Pwll-mawr comes from the Welsh for “big pool,” a reminder of the low-lying land and historic drainage that shaped field boundaries and footpaths. Streets run to serve everyday needs rather than through traffic, so there are clear local routes and short walking links between neighbourhood blocks.

Public transport links connect the area to Cardiff city centre and to employment hubs along the A48 and M4 corridors, while bus services run at regular intervals. Parks, playgrounds and allotments provide outdoor space for families and neighbours, and community events tend to centre on the hall and school playing fields. The area’s practical layout and local services make it a place people use daily for schooling, shopping and sport, with straightforward road access for commuters and deliveries.
