Llantwit Major, or *Llanilltud Fawr* in Welsh, is a coastal town in the Vale of Glamorgan that feels more like a lived-in village than a modern commuter hub. Historically, it was a major centre of early Christian learning, home to St Illtud’s 6th-century monastery; today, the sprawling, medieval St Illtud’s Church remains the town’s focal point. Geographically, it sits on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, with the rocky beach at Cwm Colhuw just a mile’s walk from the town centre. Unlike many coastal towns, the layout is a bit of a maze, with narrow, winding streets and stone-walled cottages leading into a small but functional town square. It is well-connected for the region, positioned on the railway line between Bridgend and Cardiff, and sits roughly ten miles west of Cardiff Airport. It lacks the self-conscious polish of nearby Cowbridge, retaining a sturdier, more practical atmosphere with its mix of independent local shops, old pubs, and various housing styles that have expanded outward from its historic core over the decades.
