Peterston-super-Ely
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peterston-super-Ely (Welsh: Llanbedr-y-fro) is a village in the Welsh county of the Vale of Glamorgan.
As its name suggests, the village lies on the River Ely, on the other side of which is the Coryton estate. The local parish church (in heavily restored simple Perpendicular style) is dedicated to Saint Peter. There are small remains of a castle.
Peterston-super-Ely is the primary outdoor filming location for the Welsh-language soap opera, Pobol y Cwm. St. Peter's church in the village was used as an indoor and outdoor filming location for the third season of Gavin & Stacey.
Peterston Church in Wales Primary School presently has around 180 pupils.
