Llancarfan is located several miles across the vale from Barry

Llancarfan is a rural village and community, west of Barry near Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, in south Wales. The village has a pub and a well-known church, the site of Saint Cadoc's 6th century abbey, famed for its learning. Saint Canice and many other Welsh holy men were ordained there.

A slight insight into the social development of Llancarfan over the last 20 years - Llancarfan was the last town in Wales not to be home to any family of ethnic minority. Also, up until 2007, when a young Scotsman from the said village "came out", it had never been home to someone from the homosexual community. It is now!! There are blacks and battys!
