Welcome to Colwinston (Tregolwyn in Welsh), a village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.  It has the Norman parish church of St. Michael and All Angels, a 12th Century Grade 1 listed building. Nearby are St David's Church in Wales Primary School, the Village Hall and the Sycamore Tree Inn (dating from the 17th century or earlier). 

Colwinston has its own Community Council; Hall Committee; Women's Institute; and Philosophical Society.  Social events include the Annual Fete, Craft & Produce Show; Pantomime; Bonfire Night; Father Christmas visit on Christmas Eve; the New Year's Day sport of "collyball"; the Cricket Club; while many other activities take place during the year.

The author, Agatha Christie was a frequent visitor to the Manor House of ‘Pwllywrach’ near the village. She was told of the local folklore surrounding a gypsy curse on one of the local roads, which so impressed her, that she used the story as the basis for her book ‘The Hollow’.
