Pentyrch

Pentyrch (sometimes Welsh: Pen-tyrch; Welsh pronunciation: [pɛnˈtɪrχ]) is a village and community located on the western outskirts of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. The village gives its name to a Cardiff local authority electoral ward, Pentyrch, which covers the village and immediate surrounding area. The Pentyrch community includes the neighbouring village of Creigiau and Gwaelod y Garth. People living in Pentyrch are commonly known as "Pentyrchians".

On 26 February 2016, multiple witnesses reported seeing UFOs.

The village is situated approximately 6 miles north-west of Cardiff city centre, next to the Garth Mountain, high above the River Taff.

The village can be reached from junction 32 of the M4 Motorway, then A470, then via Heol Goch, a hill flanked by a quarry and nature reserve. Alternatively, Church Road provides access from Llantrisant Road near St Fagans.

Other approaches are from Creigiau and Gwaelod-y-Garth.

There was a separate location, Pentyrch Crossing, a flat railway crossing believed to have been removed in the 1960s, between Morganstown and the River Taff.

At the 2001 census, Pentyrch contained 3,535 individuals, in 1,358 households.

Pentyrch became the newest addition to the Cardiff unitary authority in 1996. The electoral ward of Pentyrch & St Fagans elects three councillors to Cardiff Council.
