    Where is Cowbridge?

    Cowbridge – Y Bont Faen is a small town in the Vale of Glamorgan. It is an important historic market town and part of a designated conservation area along with nearby Llanblethian.

    Archaeological evidence suggest it is built upon a Roman settlement and there are many clues to its later Medieval growth in the modern layout. It is said to have been founded around the late 11th century by Robert St Quentin.

    The current plan of the town still reflects the making of the early town with its medieval burgage plots matching the modern layout. The town was defended by the building of a curtain wall and four gatehouses around the 1300s, the south gate is the only one remaining today.

    Famous connections to the town include Edward Williams (1747-1826), better known as ‘Iolo Morganwg’ who kept a book shop at 14 High Street in the 1790s and David Lloyd George, Britain’s only Welsh Prime Minister who was given freedom of the borough in 1933.

     It is a lovely town with great character, plenty to see and do.
