About

The Illtyd ward covers the western portion of Llantwit Major, a coastal town. The area includes the historic town centre and stretches westward to encompass the rural hamlet of Boverton and the coastline along Bristol Channel. This creates a distinct mix of a functioning market town with agricultural land and coastal paths. The geography is defined by the River Col-huw valley.

The ward is anchored by St Illtud's Church, a significant medieval site with ancient Celtic crosses. The surrounding streets contain many listed buildings constructed from local limestone. The area's economy traditionally centres on agriculture, though it now includes local commerce and services for residents. The coastline features cliffs and the pebble beach of Col-huw Bay.
