About

Cowbridge & The Rural Vale

Charm and culture in Cowbridge and the rural Vale.

A drive down Primrose Hill is the perfect welcome to Cowbridge, a 13th century market town, often highlighted as one of Wales' most desirable places to live. A charming welcome awaits from this ancient town, and the surrounding Vale, and a great way to discover Cowbridge's history is to follow the Blue Plaque Trail.

Wonderful places to stay and dine, offering amazing local foods and beverages from the growing number of independent Vale producers, makes Cowbridge a great choice as a base for exploring. Come and stay for a week or a weekend. It's just 12 miles from the capital by car or bus.

There's a honeycomb of hidden gems to discover in alleyways and arcades off Eastgate and High Street. Hand-crafted jewellery, beautiful art, to die for confectionery, haute couture, and traditional and chic-modern clothes shops. Maybe you'll pick up a bargain in an antique shop, or even a Louis Viutton scarf from one of the choice charity shops.
