Taffs Well is a village and civil parish on the northern edge of Cardiff within Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, sitting beside the River Taff. It is best known for its natural thermal spring - the only one in Wales - which feeds a small well and has long been a local curiosity and amenity set amid riverside woods.
The parish blends suburban life with valley character: many residents commute into Cardiff, while local shops, community clubs and a noted football side keep a strong village feel. Good rail and road links connect to the surrounding valleys and the capital, and riverside paths and green spaces make it a popular spot for walkers and families, with industrial-era reminders nearby.
