About

Llantwit Major ward encompasses the coastal town and surrounding rural landscape on the Vale of Glamorgan's western edge. The area is defined by its dramatic coastline, featuring cliffs and the expansive Llantwit Major beach. Inland, the settlement is centred around its historic core, with residential streets extending towards farmland. The topography includes gentle valleys that run down to the sea, shaping the local environment and settlement pattern.

The area is historically significant, containing St Illtud's Church, which stands on the site of one of Britain's earliest centres of learning. Economic activity includes local commerce, agriculture, and some tourism drawn to the coastal path and beach. The ward functions as a distinct community with its own secondary school and facilities, separate from the more urban areas to the east. The landscape is a mix of arable fields and pastoral land, characteristic of this part of south Wales.
