Name

The word "mynachdy" comes from the Welsh words "mynach" (monk) and "tŷ" (house). This probably refers to Llys Talybont, a manor building in the modern area of Mynachdy that was owned by the monks of Llantarnam Abbey.[3]

Mynachdy Institute

The Mynachdy Institute is a community centre in Mynachdy. There have been many threats of closure, with plans to replace it with student flats.[4][5][6] However, after its initial closure, a successful community movement regained control of the Institute from Cardiff Council.[7]

Transport

The A470 North Road runs along Mynachdy's northeast side.

Mynachdy is bordered on its southwest side by a local railway line. There are plans under consideration to build the Gabalfa railway station on this line to serve Mynachdy and neighbouring Gabalfa.[8]
