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 The Red Fox pub in Penllyn
