About

Llanfarian is a ward located in the county of Ceredigion, situated along the northern bank of the River Ystwyth as it approaches Cardigan Bay. The area encompasses a mix of rural settlements, agricultural land, and pockets of residential development. It lies just inland from the coastal town of Aberystwyth, with which it shares administrative functions. The geography is characterised by the river valley and rising ground to the north, leading into the wider Cambrian Mountains.

The ward includes the village of Glan-yr-afon and is traversed by the A487 road. A notable feature is the presence of the old lead mining valley of Cwm Ystwyth, with its industrial heritage subtly shaping the landscape. Land use is primarily pastoral, with forestry on the higher slopes. The community maintains a distinct identity separate from the nearby university town, with its own local council and facilities centred on the village hall.
