Birchgrove has its own train station with a direct train into Cardiff Central, and because it is surrounded on all sides by some other great urban areas of Cardiff, you are only ever 10 to 15 minutes walk away from a train station in most directions – Birchgrove, Ty Glas, Rhiwbina and Heath. Regular buses pass through the village into Cardiff and Caerphilly and a Next Bike station means you have no excuses for not getting into work! The M4 is a short drive away but with such great public transport links, increasing numbers of people take the car, a great way to reduce the carbon footprint and enjoy a quick chapter of a favourite book or trending podcast!

There is a range of cafes, and food outlets in Birchgrove ensuring that you’ll never go hungry! There is a popular local pub serving traditional food and supplied by the renowned Welsh Brewer, Brains, making it an obvious choice for all major sporting events, a takeaway noodle bar, and of course the award-winning fish and chip shop Youngers. Be warned though, you’ll often see a queue for their tasty morsels!

For the chefs, Birchgrove boasts some great supermarkets to buy all the ingredients you need to whip up a storm including fresh fruit and veg from Lidl and the fish counter in Morrisons less than a mile away.
