About

Llanrhystyd ward covers a stretch of the rural Ceredigion coastline, centred on the village of Llanrhystud. The area is defined by farmland on the coastal plateau, descending to the sea at Clarach Bay. The Afon Wyre and Afon Llanrhystud flow through the ward to the Irish Sea. The historic Dyfi Biosphere Reserve boundary lies just to the north, influencing the local landscape.

The economy has traditional roots in agriculture, with tourism focused on the coastal path and beach. The village itself is linear, following the main A487 road. A notable feature is the prominent hilltop church of St. Rhystud, a landmark visible from much of the surrounding area. The ward includes the smaller settlements of Llancynfelyn and the inland hamlet of Rhiwlas.
