About

Cowbridge ward covers the historic market town itself and its immediate rural surroundings. The area is defined by its compact centre, with streets following a medieval layout. Local independent shops and traditional businesses operate from buildings that reflect centuries of architectural styles. The town functions as a commercial and social hub for the surrounding Vale of Glamorgan countryside.

A notable feature is the surviving stretch of the original medieval town wall, which runs behind properties on the north side of the High Street. The ward includes the town's sports fields, primary school, and the grounds of Cowbridge Grammar School. Agricultural land and smaller residential settlements characterise the ward's boundaries beyond the central streets.
