About

Lampeter ward encompasses the historic market town of Lampeter itself, situated within the River Teifi valley.

The ward includes the university's original campus, giving it a distinct academic character throughout the year. The River Teifi flows along the town's edge, with walking paths following its course. Local commerce is focused along the main thoroughfares, serving both the permanent population and the student body, with the weekly market continuing a long-standing tradition in the town square.
