St Nicholas (Welsh: Sain Nicolas) is a commuter village in the Vale of Glamorgan, located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Cardiff and about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Cardiff city centre. As of the 2021 census, the village had a population of 654. It forms part of the St Nicholas and Bonvilston community.
The village is bisected by the A48 road, with notable landmarks such as the parish church[2] and a primary school[3] situated to the north of the road. The surrounding area consists largely of agricultural fields and lies within the Dyffryn Basin and Ridge Slopes Special Landscape Area[4]. The majority of residents commute to Cardiff for work.
St Nicholas has no shops or pubs; the nearest amenities can be found in the nearby villages of Bonvilston and Culverhouse Cross.
The village is located approximately a 15-minute drive from Cardiff city centre to the east[5] and the market town of Cowbridge to the west[6]. It is also connected to Barry via the A4226, commonly known as Five Mile Lane, which branches off from the A48.
Public transport services the village through the X2 route, with eastbound destinations including Culverhouse Cross, Cardiff Bay, and Cardiff city centre, and westbound destinations such as Bonvilston, Cowbridge, Bridgend, and Porthcawl.
On 6 October 2016, a planning application by Redrow Homes was controversially approved, allowing the construction of 100 new homes in the village. An additional 17 homes were added by Waterstone Homes. Construction began in the summer of 2017, and upon completion, the development doubled the size of the village. In the same year, the village church hall was sold.
