About

Penthyn ward covers a large rural area in the southern part of the Conwy County Borough. It is primarily agricultural land, characterised by rolling hills, farmland, and scattered settlements. The ward includes the village of Groesffordd and the larger community of Llansannan, which serves as a local hub. The landscape is shaped by the River Elwy, which flows through the area.

The geography is defined by the Hiræthog Moor to the east, an expanse of upland peat bog and heather. This open moorland provides a distinct contrast to the lower, enclosed fields used for grazing and forestry. The area's history is quietly evident in features like ancient standing stones and the site of the medieval Abergele Hospital, a monastic grange located near Llangernyw.
