You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Pentyrch''' (sometimes ((lang-cy|Pen-tyrch)); ((IPA-cy|pɛnˈtɪrχ))) is a village and [[Community (Wales)|community]] located on the western outskirts of [[Cardiff]], the capital city of [[Wales]]. The village gives its name to a Cardiff local authority electoral ward, Pentyrch, which covers the village and immediate surrounding area. The Pentyrch community includes the neighbouring village of [[Creigiau]] and [[Gwaelod y Garth]]. People living in Pentyrch are commonly known as "Penterchyians".

On 26 February 2016, multiple witnesses reported seeing [[UFO]]s.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/strange-night-welsh-field-involving-15290890|title = The strange Welsh night involving 'huge UFO lights', explosions and the military|date = 22 October 2018))</ref>

==Geography==
The village is situated next to the [[Garth Mountain]], high above the [[River Taff]].

The village can be reached from junction 32 of the M4 Motorway, then [[A470 road|A470]], then via Heol Goch, a hill flanked by a quarry and nature reserve. Alternatively, Church Road provides access from Llantrisant Road near [[St Fagans]].

Other approaches are from [[Creigiau]] and [[Gwaelod-y-Garth]].

There was a separate location, Pentyrch Crossing, a flat railway crossing believed to have been removed in the 1960s, between [[Morganstown]] and the River Taff.

==Demographics==
At the [https://web.archive.org/web/20070309221631/http://www.cardiffcommunitysafety.co.uk/page.php?id=45 2001 census], Pentyrch contained 3,535 individuals, in 1,358 households.

==Governance==
Pentyrch became the newest addition to the Cardiff [[unitary authority]] in 1996.<ref name=Cardiffians>((cite web|title=The suburb of Pentyrch|url=http://www.cardiffians.co.uk/suburbs/pentyrch.shtml|publisher=Cardiffians.co.uk|date=1 August 2010|access-date=9 April 2013))</ref>  The [[ward (politics)|electoral ward]] of Pentyrch elects one councillor to [[Cardiff Council]].

It falls within the parliamentary constituency of [[Cardiff West (UK Parliament constituency)|Cardiff West]] and is represented by the Labour Party in the [[House of Commons]] and the [[Senedd]].  The ward is bounded by [[Rhondda Cynon Taf]] to the north; and by the wards of [[Whitchurch & Tongwynlais]] to the east; [[Radyr & Morganstown]] to the southeast; and [[Creigiau & St. Fagans]] to the southwest.

===Local elections===
Pentyrch was represented by Conservative councillor [[Craig Williams (British politician)|Craig Williams]] on Cardiff Council until he stepped down in 2015, following his election to Parliament for [[Cardiff North (UK Parliament constituency)|Cardiff North]]. A by-election for the Pentyrch ward took place on Tuesday 30 June 2015 which, despite a 27% swing to Plaid Cymru's Hywel Wigley, resulted in a narrow win for Conservative candidate Gavin Hill-John by 18 votes.<ref>((cite news |author=Ruth Mosalski |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/tories-hold-pentyrch---story-9560980 |title=Tories hold on to Pentyrch - but story of the night is a huge swing to Plaid's candidate Dafydd Wigley's son Hywel|work=Wales Online |date=1 July 2015 |access-date=14 January 2018 ))</ref>

At the [[2017 City of Cardiff Council election|Cardiff Council election on 4 May 2017]] Cllr Hill-John successfully defended his seat, increasing the margin between himself and Hywel Wigley to 215 votes. The turnout was 56%.<ref>((cite web |url=https://cardiff.moderngov.co.uk/mgElectionAreaResults.aspx?XXR=0&ID=95&RPID=1002452137&LLL=0 |title=Election results for Pontprennau & Old St Mellons - Cardiff Council Elections 2017 - Thursday, 4th May, 2017|date=4 May 2017|publisher=Cardiff Council |access-date=14 January 2018 ))</ref>

==Amenities==
[[File:St. Catwg's Church - Pentyrch - geograph.org.uk - 1735690.jpg|thumb|St Catwg's Church]]
[[File:Kings Arms, Pentyrch. - geograph.org.uk - 380282.jpg|thumb|King's Arms pub, Pentyrch]]
Acapela Studio, a concert hall and recording studio, is owned by harpist [[Catrin Finch]]  and music and television producer Hywel Wigley. Acapela studio has hosted a series of  Welsh acts such as [[Gruff Rhys]], [[Cerys Matthews]] and [[Charlotte Church]] as well as local and international music acts. Many programs for [[S4C]] and the [[BBC]] are filmed there. The building itself is converted from the former presbyterian Capel Horeb. Opposite Acapela is the Lewis Arms public house.

The focus of older buildings in the village is reached by forking left after entering the village, travelling down to the King's Arms pub, and St. Catwg's Church, at the lowest point of the village.  Along with St. Catwg's Church and its lychgate, the King's Arms is a Grade II [[Listed building]].  Originally a seventeenth century copyhold farm called Cae Golman, the King's Arms became established as a public house in the eighteenth century.  The bar has a fireplace with a chamfered beam, dated 1711. Housing is split between older housing and large developments of post-1970s housing. Sport in the village is centred on the [[Pentyrch RFC|Pentyrch]] [[Rugby union|Rugby Football Club]]. There is also a cricket pitch and other facilities at the club. Pentyrch Rangers football club is based in the village. The club has nearly 200 registered players and runs 10 junior and mini football teams in the Cardiff and District League. Other amenities include a village hall and primary school.

[[Craig-y-parc House]], in wooded grounds outside the village is a former country house, now a residential school for children and young adult with disabilities. Designed by [[Charles Edward Mallows]] for the colliery owner Thomas Evans, and built between 1914 and 1918, it is a [[Listed building|Grade II* listed building]].<ref>((National Historic Assets of Wales|num=22816|desc=Craig-y-parc House|grade=II*|access-date=9 August 2020))</ref>
