MenuLlantrisant, Glamorgan
Llantrisant is a hilltop town in Glamorgan, 565 feet above sea level. The town's name means "Church of Three Saints"; the three saints being St Illtyd, St Gwynno and St Dyfodwg. A settlement has existed on this site from at least the beginning of the 6th century. The place was seized around 1246 by Richard de Clare who built Llantrisant Castle. In 1346, Llantrisant was granted a Royal Charter. The focal point of the town is the Bull Ring, a commercial square in the centre of the town once used for bull-baiting. Llantrisant Castle stands in parkland in the centre of the town though only one wall of the raven tower remains. The Royal Mint lies to the north of the town. The town is within the council area of Rhondda Cynon Taf.
