Within only a short distance is Whitchurch Golf Club, an 18 hole parkland course right on your doorstep. Rhiwbina Recreational Club forms the centre of activities within the community, and is home to both male and female Bowls teams, a Chess Club, Tennis and Squash Clubs and the
Highfields Amateur Radio Club.

Rhiwbina Garden Village
Within both the village and Beulah Road there are a wide variety of local shops and amenities including the Flower Lodge, Michelle Marshall Salon, Ginger Whites, Threads, Snails wine bar and restaurant, Derek Freye Dry cleaners, a Barber shop, Parsons Bakery and Coffee shop, the Juberage Indian restaurant, a Gifts and card shop, the Co-Op mini market, Lloyds Pharmacy, The Nest Vintage and Living Stores, Barnadoes, the Gateway to India, the Rhiwbina Shed and garden Shop, Kingmans Opticians, the Beulah Dress Agency, djk dressing salon, Cartwrights Travel
and the Coco Health and Beauty Salon.

Schools And Church Locations
There are three schools within the ward – Rhiwbina Primary School, Llanishen Fach Primary and Greenhill School. Llanishen Fach is the only school in Cardiff which sends its Year 6 pupils to two main secondary schools, Whitchurch High, and Llanishen High. Despite local campaigning since the 1960s, Rhiwbina currently has no Welsh-medium school. As a result, some local children travel to Ysgol y Wern and Ysgol Melin Griffith to receive their education.

Transport
There are three railway stations located within Rhiwbina. The principal station is Rhiwbina railway station, located behind the library in the heart of the village. The other two stations are Birchgrove railway station, located in the east of the ward, and Whitchurch railway station, Cardiff in the west.
These two stations were built (as their names suggest) to service other adjacent areas, but the expansion of Rhiwbina and its clear demarcation from Whitchurch has meant that all three stations are now located within the boundaries of the ward. All of the stations are on the Cardiff Central to Coryton Line, and were built by the Cardiff Railway Company. Presently, services continue through west Cardiff to Radyr. Cardiff Bus services 21 (Central Station - Gabalfa - Birchgrove
- Whitchurch - Coryton - Rhiwbina) and 23 (Central Station - Gabalfa - Birchgrove - Rhiwbina - Coryton - Whitchurch) frequently run through the area. Veolia Transport Cymru also ran service 22 (Heath Hospital – Rhiwbina) but this route ceased running in 2013. Heol-y-Deri is the main road leading through the district. Rhiwbina is situated between the A470 (Cardiff City Centre to
M4 J32) and A 469 (Cardiff city centre to Caerphilly).
