Fairwater (Welsh: Tyllgoed) is a village and district in north-west Cardiff. It is located a few miles from Culverhouse Cross which connects Cardiff to the M4 motorway.
The name Tyllgoed, meaning "dark wood" goes back to the 15th C. This leafy district is divided between the mainly privately owned 1930s semi-detached developments at the southern end, and more 1950s public housing stock towards the northern end closer to neighbouring Pentrebane. But most of it is housing estate at the moment. It is the site of the Dell, Fairwater leisure centre, a skate park and numerous playing fields.
