Brynsadler is a small village situated in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, it is part of the community of Pontyclun.[1]

Amenities

It has one pub, the Ivor Arms which for a brief period was named Y Draenog (English: The Hedgehog) but took back its original name in November 2007.

The main road to Cowbridge runs through the village, and is known locally as 'Brynsadler hill'. Brynsadler used to be home to the Crown Buckley brewery housed opposite the village pub. The brewery was bought by S A Brain and eventually relocated to Cardiff. The brewery and brewery houses were demolished and a housing estate called "Clos Brenin" replaced it.

Brynsadler also housed a chapel, called Capel Zion, located opposite the post office. It closed down and was converted into housing accommodation.

Given its position between Llanharry and Pontyclun, Brynsadler is a pit stop for many summer activities such as fun-runs.
