Penllyn (Welsh : Pen-llin) is a village and community in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It is located north west of the market town of Cowbridge. As a community it contains the settlements of Llansannor, Pentre Meyrick, Trerhyngyll, Ystradowen and Penllyn itself. ^[2]

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 1.3 miles (2.1 km) north of the main village, is notable for its pub the Barley Mow. ^{[3] [4]}
