About

One of South Wales' most fashionable places, rural Cowbridge is full of sophisticated shops and plays host to a fantastic food festival each autumn. If you like to shop in style then you'll love Cowbridge High Street. The town has numerous unique, family-owned shops selling up-market clothes for men and women as well as jewellery, leather goods, shoes, antiques and crafts. Eating out in Cowbridge is always a treat too, whether you're looking for a lunchtime bite or a three-course meal.

Cowbridge has a wealth of history dating back to Roman times, with a Roman Road going to the west right through the town. Cowbridge's historic past is reflected in its present day buildings, which add to the interest and character of the town.
