About

Aberystwyth's Penparcau ward lies directly east of the town centre, separated by the River Rheidol. It is primarily a residential area characterised by housing estates and terraced homes, serving as a key community for local workers and students. The ward includes the parkland of Plascrug Avenue and is bordered to the south by the A487 road, which connects to other parts of the town. Its landscape rises towards the east, offering views back over Aberystwyth.

The area is functionally connected to the town centre yet maintains its own facilities, including schools and local shops. A notable feature is the presence of the Park Avenue stadium, home to Aberystwyth Town Football Club, which sits near the river's edge.
