About

Penllergaer ward lies in the northern part of the City and County of Swansea, bordering the M4 motorway. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing estates and more rural lanes. It contains the large village of Penllergaer itself, along with the smaller community of Pontlliw. The ward's landscape transitions from suburban development to green fields and wooded areas on its fringes.

A central feature is the historic Penllergare Valley Woods, a significant area of woodland and gardens with a network of footpaths. The Lower Lliw reservoir is located here, providing a focal point for local recreation. The ward is functionally connected to Swansea and beyond by the major road network, while maintaining a distinct, quieter character separate from the urban centre.
