About

Tongwynlais sits at the northern edge of Cardiff, marked by the steep, wooded slopes of Castell Coch. The area is residential, with housing primarily from the mid-20th century, and is bordered by the Taff Gorge woodland. Its identity is closely tied to the forest park and the historic castle, a 19th-century reconstruction that overlooks the village from the hillside.

Directly to the east, Coryton is a major transport node where the A470 and A469 roads meet. It functions as a gateway to the city, characterised by its large roundabout and surrounding retail parks. The area is defined by this infrastructure, with residential streets extending off the main routes towards neighbouring Lisvane and Whitchurch.
