Pentyrch-Upon-Roundabout

Official Coat of Arms

A shield quartered with a golden roundabout rampant, a commuter train passant towards Cardiff, a mock-Tudor housing development proper, and Castell Coch visible in the distance through morning mist. Supporters: two confused delivery drivers holding satnavs, with the motto 'Per Circulum Ad Cardiff' beneath.

TripAdvisor Review

★★★☆☆ 3/5

"Lovely little village if you enjoy the thrill of navigating multiple roundabouts to buy milk. The Castell Coch views are stunning, assuming you can see them through the Barratt homes. Village pub was nice but closes earlier than my bedtime. Perfect if you work in Cardiff but want to pretend you live in the countryside while still hearing the M4."

Supporting Evidence

Pentyrch's name comes from the Welsh 'pen' (head) and 'tyrch' (boars), though today you're more likely to encounter wild estate agents than wild boars in the area.
