City, Vale of Glamorgan

City, Vale of Glamorgan

City is a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom.

Contents

Location

It is quite near to the town of Cowbridge.

Origin of the name

The village has never held the status of a city and "City" is not a recognisable Welsh word, so its origin is unclear. There is local speculation that the name came from an Anglicisation of Saith Tŷ, which is Welsh for "Seven Houses".

Amenities

The village has no shops. It used to have a pub called the City Inn, but it has now closed down. There is a village hall.
