Cyncoed electoral ward of Cardiff
The area was mainly built in the early twentieth century when Cardiff was expanding rapidly. Housing is a mixture of some very large detached homes and smaller semi-detached buildings. Modern housing estates now surround the area, and some of the original houses have been demolished and replaced by smaller homes.
Features include a small shopping village, a number of churches, a synagogue, because there is a sizable Jewish community living in Cyncoed, and primary schools and secondary schools. It is home
Rhydypennau Library, Cyncoed to one of the campuses of University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC) and a Cardiff University hall of residence. Cyncoed Road runs through the Cyncoed region, connecting outer suburbs to the inner city. Between Cyncoed and Llanishen lie two defunct reservoirs. The company which owns this site, Western Power Distribution, intends to build houses there but this plan is opposed by many residents of the two districts. Towards the west of the area lies the northern part of Roath Park with its large lake and garden areas. Cardiff High School is located at the north of the area.
