Design and Maintenance by Opus IX The Parish of Penllyn sits in one of the most beautiful parts of The Vale  of Glamorgan in South Wales and contains the villages of Penllyn and  Craig Penllyn, together with Pentre Meyrick. It was largely untouched  by the industrialisation of the 19th and 20th centuries, instead  depending on its farming. Affluence and demographic trends have  altered the community and now agriculture is concentrated on a small  number of farms.  The parish contains a number of notable buildings including Penllyn  Castle which dominates the moors over which it looks, the churches of  Llanfrynach and St John’s and a pub each for Penllyn and Craig  Penllyn.   ROADS PETITION The Penllyn and Craig Penllyn Village Committee are organising a petiton to lobby the Vale of Glamorgan Council to properly repair the roads  through the village . Obviously the more signatures they get the better! So if you would like better roads, please sign the petition here.
