Penllyn is a village and parish in Glamorgan, located north-west of the market town of Cowbridge.

Penllyn is home to Penllyn Castle, a 12th-century fortification which, although ruinous, is now adjoined by a castellated mansion originally built in the late 16th century.

The smaller hamlet of Graig Penllyn, about a mile and a half north of the main village, is notable for its pub the Barley Mow.[2][3]
