About

Grangetown is a residential district situated directly south of Cardiff city centre, separated by the River Taff. The area is characterised by its grid-like pattern of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, which form the core of its housing stock. Its main commercial activity is concentrated along Penarth Road and Corporation Road, serving the local community with independent shops and services. The ward includes a significant stretch of the Cardiff Bay shoreline, providing views across the water.

The area is home to the Grade II listed Grangetown Nursery, a historic horticultural site with extensive glasshouses. Transport links are a defining feature, with the main railway line to London passing through and several major roads converging here. Large areas are also dedicated to industrial and distribution uses near the docks, contrasting with the residential streets. The Taff Trail runs along its western edge, offering a green route for cyclists and pedestrians.
