Llanbradach is a village in the Welsh county borough of Caerphilly, within the historic boundaries of Glamorgan, south Wales less than 3 miles north of the town of Caerphilly. It is mostly residential, and contains three pubs, a primary school, a small local shopping area, a recreation ground, a library, two doctor's surgeries, and a youth centre. Being a traditional long and narrow South Wales Valleys village, its potential for expansion is restricted by the river on its eastern side and the hillside to the west.
