Brynsadler is a small village situated in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, it is part of the community of Pontyclun.[1]

Amenities

[edit]

The A4222 main road to Cowbridge runs through the village; locally it is known tautologically as 'Brynsadler hill'.[2] Brynsadler used to be home to the Crown Buckley brewery housed opposite the village pub, the Ivor Arms. The brewery was bought by S A Brain and eventually relocated to Cardiff. The brewery and brewery houses were demolished and a housing estate called "Clos Brenin" replaced it.

Brynsadler also housed a chapel, called Capel Zion, located opposite the post office. It closed down and was converted into housing accommodation.

Given its position between Llanharry and Pontyclun, Brynsadler is a pit stop for many summer activities such as fun runs.
