Wenvoe, Vale Of Glamorgan

Flower Delivery to Wenvoe with Clare Florist

The Welsh village of Wenvoe, with a population of just over 2,000 people, is located in the Vale of Glamorgan and it is found between Cardiff and Barry. It is also located close to the Wenvoe Transmitter, which is found close to Twyn-yr-Odyn and the television centre for HTV Wales, which is found in the Culverhouse Cross, in the suburbs of Cardiff. Wenvoe is the home destination for the Walton Castle restaurant, which welcomes diners from a great distance interested in its sterling reputation, the Wenvoe Castle Golf Club and the Wenvoe Quarry.

While Wenvoe still holds a farming population in the present day, it is clearly not much compared to the historical farming population that has been in the local community for centuries. This was once a thriving heartland of farming in Wales but while the farming population has dipped in recent times, the actual population of the area has significantly increased in the last 100 years. There have been many property developments introduced, both by the Government and by private property developers.

The origins of Wenvoe date back to the development of an area around the St Mary’s parich church, which is traced back to the 12th century. Historically, Wenvoe has been cited as being owned by a number of families including the De Sully family, le Fleming family, the Malefaunt family and the Thomas, Jenner and Birt families. There was a great deal of development to Wenvoe castle in the 1770s but sadly a fire in 1910 removed much of the castle.

There are a number of burial chambers in the local community with the St Lythans Burial Chamber and the Tinkswood Burial Chamber both being located less than 4 miles from the heart of Wenvoe. There is also Dryffrybn Gardens, located between the two burial chambers, and this is the estate which used to own both of the chambers. This is now regarded as one of the leading gardens in the whole of the United Kingdom and a considerable number of tourists flock to the local region to view the area.

There is no doubt that Wenvoe is a popular area for people looking to commute to Cardiff. Sadly there is no railway line or station in the village, with the line being one of many that suffered in the cull of the 1950s and 60s. It is possible to still see the remains of the old line but the station is now a family home and the line has become overgrown.

There are a number of community groups found in Wenvoe including a scout group, a Ladies Choir, a Youth club and there is a strong sense of spirit in the local area. There was joy in 2005 and in 2007 when Wenvoe was announced to be the Best Kept Village in the Vale of Glamorgan. Every September there is a Village Show and this provides an opportunity for local residents to show off their gardening, cooking and craft skills.
