About

Caerwent ward is located in the southeast of Monmouthshire, bordering the city of Newport. The area is primarily rural, characterised by farmland and small villages set within a gently rolling landscape. The main settlement is the village of Caerwent itself, which serves as a focal point for the surrounding communities.
