Wenvoe (Welsh: Gwenfô) is a Welsh village in the Vale of Glamorgan located on the western side of a shallow valley between Cardiff and Barry, surrounded by woods and farmland.

The Community of Wenvoe encompasses the communities of Dyffryn, St Lythans, Twyn-yr-Odyn and Brooklands Terrace/Parc y Gwenfô. The Community consists of around 800 properties, 500 being located in the village.

Wenvoe is a popular commuter village conveniently situated for the City of Cardiff but set in the countryside only a few miles from the sea and with easy access to the M4 motorway a few miles away.

The village developed around the parish church, which can be traced back to the 12th Century with the adjacent locality now being a conservation area. The village has a well-stocked store with a post office, a church, primary school, a public house and travel lodge, a part time library and three halls. There is also a public house in the adjoining hamlet of Twyn-yr-Odyn, and another church at St Lythans.

Wenvoe has a very healthy community spirit which supports many local community groups with activities to meet everybody’s needs. Amongst these are Wenvoe Scout Group, Ladies Choir, W.I. Whist Drives, the Church and many social events. It also boasts its own monthly newspaper titled the ‘Wenvoe What’s On’.



About the “Wenvoe What’s On?”

It is a monthly magazine which is invaluable for passing information of forthcoming events and other matters. It has proved very popular.

Approximately 650 dwellings are served and these constitute most of the village and environs. The running of this essentially non-profit making magazine is entirely voluntary.

There is a small production team and distribution is assisted by over 32 other villagers, one for each street or local area. Isolated householders such as farmers can collect their copies from the local shop. Some people moving away from the village like to keep in touch and they receive their magazines by post.
