LLANCARFAN
One of the
smallest villages in the Vale of Glamorgan,
Llancarfan is mostly unspoiled and witnessed
the founding of a Celtic monastery in the 6th
century by St Cattwg. The present 13th century
church was built on the site and has many
historic features, including an embattled
tower. A hill fort known as Castle Ditches
lies close to the village. The area has
numerous legends associated with nearby caves
and forests.
