How far from Cardiff? (Cardiff Student)
About 11 miles from Cathays where I live.
Trains from Cardiff Central to Pontyclun, then a 1 mile walk. Various buses will get you within a mile, look for buses going to or via Llantrisant, Talbot Green, or Pontyclun.
If you can drive there, it's 2 miles from J34 on the M4 (turn left at the Texaco garage).
