Wenvoe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wenvoe (Welsh: Gwenfô) is a Welsh village between Barry and Cardiff in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It is located near the Wenvoe Transmitter at the old HTV national headquarters in Culverhouse Cross in the suburbs of Cardiff.

Maintaining a thriving farming community for centuries, Wenvoe - while still a farming village to an extent - has doubled in population in the last hundred years due to the vast amount of high-end property created by commuters in the area. It is home to three pubs (two that have been in the village for hundreds of years - The Wenvoe Arms and The Horse & Jockey, both of which are protected buildings - and the more recent Walston Castle) and many acres of forestry and fields.
