Hotels in Llantwit Major
In the middle of the Vale of Glamorgan lies a small coastal town of Llantwit Major (or, in Welsh, Llanilltud Fawr). Llantwit Major has been often called "the most beautiful of places".It is a quaint old town four and a half miles south-west of Cowbridge.
It possesses a medieval town hall the ruins of a manor house, and a historic church as well as the foundations of a Roman Villa.
Llantwit Major is an excellent location for exploring South Wales and the cosmopolitan capital city of Cardiff, as well as the splendid area of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Gower Peninsula to the west, and the historic valleys.
St Illtud's church is a mixture of different periods of building strung out, in line, one behind the other. The Western (or old) church was the original parish church built on pre-Norman foundations. A tall, slim tower was built onto the eastern end in the 13th century and was followed by a new Eastern (or monastic) church and chancel at the far western end of the original building. The now ruined Lady chapel (or Galilee), was added later. There are traces of a number of medieval wall paintaings, and in the Western Church, a remarkable collection of carved Celtic crosses and carved memorial stones, bear moving testimony to the renown of this hallowed centre of Welsh Christianity.
