How to get there

Hensol castle & the Vale Resort Hotel are located in beautiful Vale of Glamorgan near Cardiff, South Wales. The castle & hotel are accessible by taxi either from Cardiff Central station or Cardiff airport.

The nearest airports are Cardiff, Bristol, or Heathrow.

We recommend flying to Cardiff airport as both Bristol and Heathrow are 2 to 2.5 hours away. Cardiff airport has daily flights to Schiphol with KLM.

The Vale Resort hotel is a 4* Golf, Spa & Leisure hotel with a 20m swimming pool, steam room, traditional wooden sauna and whirlpool spa bath, which are open to conference delegates.

Delegates will stay at the Vale resort hotel but the conference meetings will be held at Hensol caste. The hotel is located a 20 minute footwalk from Hensol castle (2 km or 1.2 mi). In the mornings and evenings, a bus shuttle will transfer delegates between the two venues.
