About

Llanishen ward is a residential district in northern Cardiff, characterised by its suburban layout centred around the historic village core. The area is dominated by semi-detached and detached housing from the mid-20th century, with local shopping parades providing essential services. Its geography is defined by the open space of Llanishen Park and the prominent landmark of Llanishen Reservoir, a large, tree-lined body of water whose future has been a long-standing local focus.

The ward is well-connected by main roads like the A469 and has its own railway station on the Coryton Line. Community life is anchored by several primary schools, places of worship, and sports facilities, including a leisure centre and golf course. The reservoir's distinctive grassy embankments and sailing club are a key part of the local landscape, contrasting with the surrounding neighbourhoods of bungalows and larger family homes.
