About

Peterston-super-Ely ward encompasses a primarily rural area within the Vale of Glamorgan, centred on the village from which it takes its name. The landscape is characterised by agricultural fields and low-lying meadows, with the River Ely forming a significant natural boundary to the north. Settlement is largely dispersed, with a focus on farming and residential life away from major urban centres. The area is connected by a network of minor roads, maintaining a quiet, settled character distinct from the coastal developments elsewhere in the county.

The ward's geography is defined by the river valley, with the community historically linked to the crossing point at Ely Bridge. This setting places it within the broader catchment area of Cardiff, though it retains its own administrative and local identity. The surrounding farmland supports traditional Welsh pastoral activities, contributing to the area's green belt function. The presence of the river and its tributaries shapes both the land use and the ecological character of this part of the Vale.
