Travelling out of Cardiff in a westerly direction you might miss a turning that takes you to one of the capital's most sought-after areas, a leafy location that's home to a select collection of pretty period homes nestled amongst the semi-rural greenery.
St Fagans still feels like a village, a currently semi-rural zone on the outskirts of the capital which is worlds away from the noisy city centre streets. It's lined with mainly large and impressive period properties peppered with treetops and glimpses of the open countryside beyond. No wonder the whole village is a designated conservation area.
With St Mary's church as a centrally positioned feature within the village, and The Plymouth Arms pub just down the road, as well as a village hall and village green, the area has all the main hallmarks of a typical village.
