Parish in Cardiff, Wales

Coordinates:51.518, -3.168
OS grid ref:ST 19 80
Dialling code: 029 (Cardiff)

Cyncoed is a leafy, largely residential suburb in the north‑east of Cardiff, characterised by mature trees, spacious interwar and post‑war houses and a predominantly middle‑class population. It sits close to green attractions such as Roath Park with its lake and conservatory, and is served by local shops, schools and recreational clubs including tennis and golf.

The area grew up from former rural estates into suburban housing in the early 20th century, so many properties retain period features while newer infill has followed. Economically it is mainly residential - commuting to the city centre is common via road and regular bus links - and house prices generally sit above the Cardiff average, reflecting its popularity with families and professionals.
