Aberthin is a small village, just outside Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, on the north side of a shallow valley, less than a mile northeast of Cowbridge across the A48 road.[1] Cowbridge Comprehensive School lies just to the southwest of the village. About 250 metres to the south is an old quarry, with a "faulted strip of grey oolite".[2] Aberthin is also the name of a brook, the River Aberthin.[3] The village was served by the Aberthin Platform railway station between 1905 and 1920, now a field to the west of Aberthin.
