Dinas Powys is a suburban ward and village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, perched on a ridge above the River Ely and within easy commuting distance of Cardiff. The area is notable for the remains of an Iron Age hillfort and later medieval occupation, and its lanes, a conservation area and the parish church give a sense of historic character amid largely 19th–20th century development.
Today Dinas Powys combines local shops, schools and sports clubs with a commuter economy - rail and road links mean many residents work in Cardiff or the wider region - while green spaces, allotments and active community groups maintain a village feel; proximity to the Bristol Channel coast and neighbouring towns such as Barry and Penarth makes it popular for families seeking a balance of country and city amenities.
