Neighbourhood information

Y Fan is situated on the edge of Gwern y Domen ancient meadowland offering beautiful walks and is also located only a 15 minute walk from Caerphilly train station with frequent trains to Cardiff (15 minutes), and also with easy access to the A470 and the M4. It is also within very easy reach of all business parks in Caerphilly and therefore an ideal base for those travelling for work. It is set in a peaceful, quiet area with only the sound of the owls at night!
