There are plenty of regular activities to choose from within Llys Isan too, these include; fitness classes, coffee mornings, games and quiz nights to name but a few and, whilst there is something for everyone, there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners can ‘dip in and out’ of activities as they wish.

The Local Area - Constructed in mid 2018 by multi-award winning retirement housebuilder McCarthy Stone, Llys Isan is one our most sought-after developments and it is not difficult to understand why - a convenient location with the local village centre just under a quarter of a mile level walk where you will find a Post Office, a Co-operative supermarket, church, coffee shops, banks, a hair salon, and pubs, cafes and newsagents. The village also has a doctor’s surgery, a pharmacy, a dentist, and plenty of other local amenities. Llanishen Park is a lovely green space just a ten minute stroll from the complex. Llanishen is a pleasant and peaceful suburb north of Cardiff with enviable connections to the city centre and to the M4 motorway. The local leisure centre is adjacent to the development offering swimming, badminton and a host of other activities.
