St Nicholas, Vale of Glamorgan

St Nicholas (Welsh: Sain Nicolas) is a village situated in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.

[4] St Nicholas has no shops or pubs; the nearest amenities can be found in the nearby villages of Bonvilston and Culverhouse Cross.

Evidence of human settlement in St. Nicholas dates back to Neolithic times, with significant archaeological findings at Tinkinswood, located less than a mile to the south.

The modern village has evolved from an agricultural community, with land historically divided among three prominent families: the Earl of Pembroke, Miles Button of Dyffryn, and Rice Meyrick of Cottrell.

The growth of Cardiff and the construction of the A4232 link road increased St. Nicholas's appeal as a commuter village.
