About

Bishopston is a large coastal ward situated on the western edge of Swansea. It encompasses the village of Bishopston itself along with the settlements of Murton and Kittle. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different periods, and is bordered by the Bristol Channel to the south. This coastline includes the popular sandy beach at Brandy Cove and the dramatic limestone cliffs of Bishopston Valley.

The area is defined by the steep, wooded Bishopston Valley, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest cut by the Bishopston Brook. This ravine creates a clear green corridor from the inland commons down to the sea at Pwll Du Bay. The local economy centres on the village's shops and services along Bishopston Road, serving the surrounding community. The ward maintains a distinct identity separate from the more urban parts of the city.
