Pentyrch is a Welsh village, situated on the western outskirts of Cardiff. Separated by a ridge from urban Cardiff, it enjoys a pleasant rural outlook over fields of sheep, cattle, and cereal crops. Although it has ancient origins, much of Pentyrch has been developed in the past four decades, during which its population has grown to some 3,000, many of whom commute to work in Cardiff or other nearby areas.
Standing on the lower slopes of the Garth, whose summit is a shade over a thousand feet above sea-level, the village is served by a small group of local shops, two public houses and a doctor's surgery. The village supports a wide range of local organisations, many of them based in the parish church or village hall. Sporting activities, centred at Parc-y-Dwrlyn, include rugby, bowls, tennis, and cricket. The Pentyrch Hill Race, attracting fell runners from across the country, takes place annually on the last Tuesday of April.
Pentyrch can be reached from many directions, including the M4, Junction 32, then A470, then via Heol Goch, a reasonably steep hill flanked by a quarry and nature reserve. Alternatively, Church Road provides access from Llantrisant Road near St Fagans. Other approaches include from Creigiau and Gwaelod-y-Garth.
