Culverhouse Cross (Welsh: Croes Cwrlwys) is suburban district in the west of Cardiff, capital of Wales, lying on the border with the Vale of Glamorgan.
The busy Culverhouse Cross roundabout is an important part of the primary road network to the west of the city and connects the A4232 (northbound to the M4 motorway Junction 33, and southbound to Cardiff Bay and Cardiff City Centre), the A4050 (to Barry), and the A48 (westbound to Cowbridge and Bridgend, and eastbound to North and East Cardiff). A number of retail parks form around the roundabout and the Copthorne Hotel Cardiff-Caerdydd.

Famous quotes containing the word cross:
“In ancient times—’twas no great loss—
They hung the thief upon the cross:
But now, alas!—I say’t with grief—
They hang the cross upon the thief.”
