Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, is a compact coastal town on the edge of the Bristol Channel, set beneath dramatic limestone and sandstone cliffs with a small pebble beach and easy access to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast.
It has deep history - a famous early medieval monastic school and St Illtud's Church on the village green, with Roman villa remains nearby - and a characterful high street of independent shops; today the local economy mixes tourism and farming with many residents commuting to Cardiff, giving the town a lively community feel while retaining its historic charm.
