I visit Cardiff every year, and when I visit I go to Pentywn, Ain't that bad - I have never had a problem there. You do see the odd scally though however they don't say much. Iceland is the only half decent shop in the malfa.

I've been trying to get the word around about the good things going on in Pentwyn with a community newsletter - Pentwyn Matters - over the last 3 years. I know Pentwyn has some problems - but it's got far more facilities and great people than I realised. I've lived here 20 years - it's changed a lot - and is still on the up. If anyone wants to share interesting or encouraging stories or news, long ago or recent - I'd like to put them in the newsletter.

In response to Gill Smith's posting you should check out the Francis Frith website. You can order maps from the 1800s which will pinpoint where your house stands now. I have tried to research Landarne and Llanderne but can only find court records so far - this may put you on another track. Llandarne/Llanderne is reported to be in the parish of Roath Kibbor so it may be worth while searching these as well.

I have lived in Llanedeyrn for almost 2 years. I hate it. People have no respect for their surroundings, property or neighbours. I can't wait to move! Life is Llanedeyrn or Pentwyn isn't that peachy.

In the 1940s my friend and I used to walk to Llanedyrn through the bluebell woods up the lane near The New Cross Inn at Rumney. The woods were beautiful. One scorching day we stopped at The Unicorn Inn and walked into the bar and asked to buy lemonade. Both the customers and landlord were highly amused, chucked us out into the garden, provided us with free 'pop' and then were told never to go there again. We were only 7 years old at the time.

Hi can anyone locate Old Mill New Court Mansion, if so please give me some details of this place if it is still about.

We moved to Bryn-y-Nant in early 1971 and I left there in November of the same year to join the Royal Navy.I have very fond memories of the area and returned many time during my career to visit and stay with my parents. I made many friends from the area and look back with extremely fond memories.

I am particularly interested in the local history of the area of Llanederyn having just discovered that a part of my family were farmers with farms in this area (it used to be spellt "Llanedarne" a long time ago). Does anyone have any idea where Cwrt-Tre-Garreg (Farm) was or have any knowledge of the old farms and families in the area that were of local interest in Llanederyn during the 18th/19th centuries. I understand that there is plenty of historical association relating to the Morgan Family of Coed-y-Gores. Does anyone know anymore on this subject? I would be very interested.

It's not the fact that young people are always out - it's just that we have no where else to go. We're too young for the pubs and too old for the youth clubs. Yes I do agree that teenagers nowadays have no respect and that something should be done about it. I go out regulary and hang about on street corners but me and my friends aren't vandals! Like I said before we just have no where else to go, there's too many of us to go into someone's house, otherwise we would. Everyone in my street are the nicest people I have ever known and I wouldn't want to move anywhere else. It's just the fact the people have given us a bad name.

I have lived in Llanedeyrn since 1973 and it has hardly changed since then. The woods around the estate are still here - I can remember what they were like when I was a boy living in Rumney - and they haven't changed, although some people spoil them by dumping their rubbish and use their trial bikes there. The one thing that the area lacks though is a decent social club that could help to boost community spirit.
Emma from Cardiff
I have lived in Llanedeyrn for most of my life. As a child I took full advantage of the location and the many woodlands within Llanedeyrn served both myself and friends as a wonderful playground. There were many young people of the same age as I grew up and we always had respect for both the environment and residents. Sadly to date many people now use those very woodlands as refuse sites which is very upsetting.I now have a family of my own and also work within Llanedeyrn as a community worker. So I guess Llanedeyrn is not such a bad place to be as I wouldn't still be here!

I have lived in Llanedeyrn for 12 years and I think it is a nice place to live but you got to many kids wandering the streets at midnight and making a fuss. But the rest of the time it is a nice place to live.

Pentwyn & Llanedeyrn sound like rough places but they're not - the sweetest people can live there, family, friends. I live in Scotland - I am half Welsh and proud. My family stay in Pentwyn & Llanedeyrn & everytime I visit Cardiff which is regularly I always have a good time. I always pop over to the Malfa for my nanny to get milk so not everyone in Pentwyn & Llanedeyrn are nasty. Every place in the world has their gangs.

Look's like the Gabalfa boys are running the show now. Unbeaten in two seasons and still on for another treble after knocking out Pentwyn in the cup semi-final. Again every player in our team is from Gabalfa and united we will stand with the motto:- 1 in all in!

I have been the team vicar in Llanedeyrn for the last three years, and to this day I still am unsure of the spelling of this area. Many places use the spelling, 'Llanederyn' including this website. However I can find just as many for 'Llanedeyrn'. This is the spelling I tend to use, mainly because the church in our benefice is dedicated to St Edeyrn, and can be found just off the A48(M), next to the Unicorn Pub. A quick websearch for the name gives just as many results for both.

Pentwyn has some of the nicest and friendliest people around. The Grand Slam Pub has one of the best landlords and landladies - Steve and Karen.
The best Sunday League Football Team in Cardiff are also located there - Pentwyn FC who play in the Lazarou Premiere Sunday league. Pentwyn FC is made up of a team who were established over ten seasons ago when we all sixteen years old. The main reason that Pentwyn does so well as a team is because we have all grown up with each other and are willing to go that extra mile and work for eac hother on the pitch, which as from all our league wins this season just goes to show how far friendship can get you?
