About

Fairwood ward lies in the northwestern part of the city, characterised by residential suburbs and proximity to rural landscapes. The area is primarily composed of housing estates and detached homes, with local amenities centred around Gower College Swansea's Tycoch campus. It functions mainly as a commuter area for the wider city.

The ward is defined by its position bordering the Gower Peninsula, with Fairwood Common and its airstrip providing a distinct open space. This creates a noticeable transition from urban to more open countryside. The University Hospital of Wales' Morriston site is a significant local employer, anchoring the area's eastern edge.
