About

Castleland ward encompasses the coastal area around Barry Island, featuring a mix of residential streets and commercial activity centred on the promenade. The landscape is defined by the curve of Whitmore Bay and the headland of Friars Point, with views across the Bristol Channel. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to modern estates, supporting a local population.

The area is anchored by the functional Barry Island Pleasure Park and the working Barry Docks to the east, which historically drove its development. A network of paths connects the beaches to the broader coastline, including the Wales Coast Path. The geography creates a distinct environment where urban settlement meets the industrial waterfront and open sea.
