Fairwater, Cardiff
Fairwater ( cy, Y Tyllgoed) is a district and Community (Wales), community in the west of Cardiff, capital of Wales. It is located a few miles from Culverhouse Cross which connects Cardiff to the M4 motorway. The population taken at the United Kingdom Census 2011, 2011 census was 12,981. Etymologies The original Welsh name Tyllgoed derives from "tyll" meaning "to hole" or "to burrow" and "coed" meaning "woods" or "trees". Tyllgoed is a name common to a number of streams in Wales that burrow through woods and it is likely this name would have originally applied to the stream that still runs through Fairwater today. The similarity of the first element to the Welsh word "tywyll" meaning "dark" led some later writers to derive the name as "dark woods". However, this derivation is now considered a folk etymology, especially given that the name is first recorded under the spellings ''Tull Coit'' and ''Tollcoit in the land of Ystrad Ager'', in the 12th century Book of Llandaff.
