Llandaff is a compact, largely residential district north of the River Taff within the city of Cardiff in Wales, long known as the historic centre of the local diocese. Its skyline is dominated by the medieval and Victorian‑restored Llandaff Cathedral, with the atmospheric ruins of the Bishop’s Palace nearby, and a cluster of narrow streets and Georgian and Victorian houses that form a designated conservation area.

Today Llandaff combines a quiet, village‑like social scene and an active community life - independent shops, cafés, and annual events such as the local festival - with convenient links to Cardiff city centre. It is popular with families and professionals, supported by notable local schools including Llandaff Cathedral School, and remains an attractive mix of historic interest and everyday suburban economy.
