TAFFS WELL....

Anyone know what it's like to live? I'm looking at a few houses there and just wanted to gauge the opinions of the area really. Location seems brilliant, houses not cheap but any advice would be welcome!

Welsh league footy, plenty of restaurants, pubs and takeaways. Lots of factories, on the Taff trail, good walks up Garth and Castle Coch.
Good location for Ponty, Cardiff and Caerphilly.

I live just on the other side of the river in Gwaelod Y Garth.

It's decent mate, plenty of pubs, good traffic routes and train station local, a few industrial estates but not close enough to the houses to have any eyesore effects. Stay away from houses in Ty Rhiw, it's probably the roughest area in Taffs Well.

My (late) wife was from staffs Well (her dad was the village shop keeper) and we lived there (Hillside area) for a little while after getting married. It's a good place to live and very friendly. The road and rail links have improved immensely in recent years and the disturbance from the industrial area has also diminished now they have the new link road

Good football club, rugby club and the Ex-Serviceman's club and pubs are pretty good too!

Thanks Ashley much appreciated. Looking at Glan Y Ffordd, I work in Newport and misses in cathays so it's absolutely ideal for us. It looks nice enough there but just wondered on opinions really. Always heard good things about Taffs Well mind.....

Thanks for the info mate. I'm looking at near the football club actually, Glan Y Ffordd, it looks nice and the area seems perfect - which is why I'm thinking where's the catch lol

I was born and bred in Taffs Well and as has been mentioned its a lovely little village, there's no catch lol you get idiots ( mainly in ty rhiw ) but you get them anywhere in life, I've lived away for several yrs and the people moving there now tend to be people who commute to Cardiff. Most of the pubs are friendly and I'm considering moving back myself eventually. Good luck and hope it works out for you.

try Pentyrch, it is much nicer....football, rugby, tennis, cricket, bowls, pubs, village life, village shop,

and my house for sale too....!

Good. I've been worried about him.

No catch, to be honest!

Glan-Y-Fford has some nice houses and a clear outlook to the Garth Mountain (the actual 'mountain' referred to in the film 'The Man Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain") and no real noise issues from the A470
