About

Gibbonsdown is a residential ward within the town of Barry, situated on the western side of the Vale of Glamorgan. The area is primarily composed of housing estates built in the mid-20th century, featuring a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes. Its layout is defined by a network of local roads connecting to the main thoroughfare of Colcot Road, which provides access to local shops and services. The ward functions as a quiet residential neighbourhood with several primary schools and community facilities serving its population.

The geography of the ward is gently sloping, with some streets offering distant views across the Bristol Channel. A notable local feature is the large, open green space known as Gibbonsdown Playing Fields, which includes sports pitches and a children's playground. This central recreational area is a focal point for the community. The ward is bordered by other Barry suburbs like Cadoxton and the more recent developments to the north, maintaining a distinctly residential character separate from the town's busier port and seafront areas.
