About

Aberporth and Y Ferwig ward lies on the Cardigan Bay coastline, centred around the village of Aberporth. The area is defined by its two sandy beaches separated by a headland, with the harbour situated between them. The landscape consists of agricultural land and residential properties sloping down to the sea. The ward functions as a local community with primary schools and small businesses serving the resident population.

A notable feature is the former Ministry of Defence testing range, which has influenced local development. The coastal path runs through the area, providing views across the bay. Inland, the settlement of Y Ferwig is more dispersed, characterised by farms and rural dwellings. The local economy has connections to agriculture, tourism, and some light industry related to the historical defence presence.
