Taff's Well

Taff's Well (Welsh: Ffynnon Taf) is a semi-rural village, community and electoral ward located at the south-eastern tip of Rhondda Cynon Taf, 6 miles (9.7 km) to the north of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales.

The tepid water is thought to rise along a fault-line from the Carboniferous Limestone, in somewhat similar manner to the warm springs at Bristol and Bath.

Taff's Well grew into an important railway junction during the mid- to late 19th century, when Cardiff was a major global exporter of coal.

The actor David Jason spent much time in Taff's Well and based the situation comedy Open All Hours upon Arthur's shop,[6] which is one of many buildings to have been dismantled and sent to the St Fagan's Museum of Welsh Life.

Described as 'The worst-run council in Wales', there were calls for the 'wholesale sacking' of the ten members for breaching 'financial and corporate governance regulations because of its "inadequate" financial records, supporting paperwork and minutes between 2002 and 2006'.

They play in the Cymru South, the second tier of the Welsh football league system.

The average journey time to Cardiff Central is 20 minutes at a frequency of six trains per hour.
