context_page_description: Buttrills is a northwestern-central district of Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, in south Wales. It is also an electoral ward of the Vale of Glamorgan, the population of which taken at the 2011 census was 6,357. The centre of education in Barry in the early twentieth century, Buttrills today contains notable playing fields and Barry Cemetery.
context_section_description: Buttrills borders the district of Colcot to the north and includes territory to the north of Barry Road and south along Buttrills Road, although the precise boundary with the district of Gladstone is unclear. Buttrills Road is particularly steep and connects upper Barry to the western part of the CBD and the downtown district of Holton. Due to its steepness the hill staged several automobile races in the early 20th century which attracts large crowds to the hill. A small stream rises to the northwest Buttrills named Nant Talwg. This flows into western Barry and gave its name to the Nant Talwg housing estate off Pontypridd Road (formerly part of the Five Mile Lane) opposite Cwm Talwg, near Porthkerry Park.
