Twyn-yr-Odyn is a hamlet in the Vale of Glamorgan, southeast Wales, just beyond the territorial border of western Cardiff. It lies just southwest of Culverhouse Cross, very close to Wenvoe and St Lythans.[1] The Wenvoe Transmitter is located here. It is home to a pub named the Horse and Jockey Inn. There is an allotment in the vicinity.
Famous Residents
Although small, Twyn-yr-Odyn is famous for its Polish community. As part of the Vale of Glamorgan Social Mobility Programme (2016), the Osmolski household were able to leave behind the slums of Riverside, Cardiff, to move up the social ladder. Quotes such as "All hail the Vale"[2] are regularly heard in passing the Horse and Jockey Inn.
