Flower Delivery to St Mellons with Clare Florist

St. Mellons, located in South Glamorgan, Wales, is a suburb of the capital Cardiff. The community consists of both a historic village, often known as Old St. Mellons, and a newer development of the town that hosts a number of new housing developments and businesses. The town was incorporated into the larger city of Cardiff in 1974.

Situated in historic county of Monmouthshire, St. Mellons began as an important, but small, centre of commerce on the outskirts of the city. Its location between the city and the countryside made it an essential area for farming, travel, and trade. Because of this, several historic coaching inns and coach roads go through St. Mellons, in particular Newport Road, which establishes a link between Wales and England.

The city’s name originates from the name of 6th century religious figure, St. Melanie, who later became the Bishop of Rennes in Brittany. St. Melanie was born in this area of Wales and was closely connected to the religious beginnings in this area. St. Mellons is believed to have been the home of the mythical King of Gwent. The story says that he lived on top of a hill in St. Mellons during the Romano-British era and led his people to become baptised as Christians in the Rhymney River.

St. Mellons offers many opportunities to enjoy the town and its people including annual family festivals, teddy bear picnics, Halloween activities, and annual fireworks and bonfire night in November. Many events are sponsored by the diverse number of businesses in the area.

With its location between the city and the countryside, St. Mellons offers a wide variety of outdoor activities to enjoy, most notably Cath Cobb Woodlands and Hendre Lake Park.  The latter is one of the newest parks in St. Mellons and encompasses 143 acres of land surrounding a lake that is well-stocked for fishing. In addition to these two attractions, the St. Mellons Golf Club is another popular location for enjoying the natural resources of the area with a leisure activity.
