Llantrisant

Tucked on a hill between the Ely and Taff river valleys, Llantrisant is a town whose character is shaped by its elevated position above the South Wales valleys. Its compact old centre retains the ruins of Llantrisant Castle, a 13th-century stronghold, while the town’s Welsh name refers to three saints. Modern Llantrisant is also closely associated with the Royal Mint, which has been based here since 1968 and produces coinage for the United Kingdom. Streets around the old town bring together medieval traces and the everyday life of a working community in Rhondda Cynon Taf. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Wales.
