Taff's Well

Taff's Well

Taff's Well ( _cy. Ffynnon Taf) is a large commuter village of the city of Cardiff located in Rhondda Cynon Taff and just north of the city of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, United Kingdom.

The name "Taff's Well" is derived from the fact that the village is situated alongside the River Taff, and is also the site of a natural spring that has been used since Roman times.

Effectively almost a northern suburb of Cardiff, though represented by Rhondda Cynon Taff Council, most of its residents work in Cardiff.

Taff's Well A.F.C. are the local football (soccer) team and Taffs Well RFC are the local Rugby Union team.

Taffs Well railway station opened in 1863.
