St Hilary Community Website

This section provides information about places of interest in and around the village.  Click on the links on the left for more information.  [We anticipate links to maps being provided by early January 2009]. 

The two closest places of interest are Beaupre Castle and Coed Hills Rural Arts Space.  

Beaupre Castle is a 14th century fortified manor house. It is accessed by taking the St Athan Road out of the village, parking in the lay-by on the left just after joining the Cowbridge road and following the short path across the fields.   

The aim of the Coed Hills Rural Arts Space is to create more interesting and exciting artwork, and cultivate an appreciation of the natural world. The visitors centre and sculpture trail is open all year round and is free to the public to enjoy.  It is a short mile down the Llantithyd road out of the village (the road past the telephone box). 

Down the A48 around St Nicholas there are:

• Dyffryn House and Dyffryn Gardens
• Tinkinswood Burial Chamber and St Lythans Chambered Tomb
• Natural Burial Ground 

And further afield there are attractions, such as:

• St Fagans (Welsh Folk Museum)
• St Donats Castle and Atlantic College
• Cosmeston Medieval Village
