Llantwit Fardre is a community and electoral ward in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, situated a few miles west of Pontypridd and north‑west of Cardiff, close to Llantrisant. It occupies rising ground on the fringes of the South Wales Valleys, giving residents good views across the surrounding countryside while remaining within easy commuting distance of the larger towns and cities.
The area grew with 19th‑century coal and industrial activity and still carries that heritage in former pits, rail alignments and sturdy terraced streets, but today it is largely a residential, family‑orientated place with a mix of older housing and more recent developments. Local life centres on village shops, pubs, sports clubs and community facilities, and there’s a strong sense of local identity alongside convenient access to green spaces and the wider Taff and Cynon valleys.
