Flemingston is a rural community with convenient access to the nearby towns of Cowbridge and Llantwit Major and also to the local shopping facilities at the village of St. Athan. The Vale of Glamorgan offers a good range of leisure and country pursuits. The Town of Cowbridge includes a range of quality shops, public library, health centre, leisure centre and various sporting clubs. The heritage coastline lies to the south with its beautiful cliff top walks and mixture of stony and sandy beaches.
