Llanrumney is a district and suburb in the east of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales.
The land where modern Llanrumney stands was left to Keynsham Abbey by the Lord of Glamorgan after the Norman Conquest. According to legend, Llywelyn the Last, the final prince of an independent Wales, was interred in a stone coffin by the monks in 1282, on land where Llanrumney Hall would be built centuries later.
The Rhymney River is a river in the Rhymney Valley, south-east Wales, flowing into the Severn estuary.
The river forms the boundary between the historic counties of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire.
Rumney is a district in the east of the city of Cardiff, Wales. It lies east of the River Rhymney, and is historically part of Monmouthshire. On 1 April 1938 the Cardiff Extension Act 1937 incorporated it into the county borough of Cardiff, and thus it became associated with the geographical county of Glamorgan.
This is a predominately residential area with a variety of social and private housing. There are many shopping outlets on Newport Road as well as local shops at the top of Rumney Hill and on Wentloog Road, Countisbury Avenue in Llanrumney also. New Industrial & Business Estates have been developed alongside existing ones on Lamby Way providing welcome employment opportunities for many residents in Cardiff.
