About

Rhiwbina is a residential ward situated in the north of Cardiff, bordering the open countryside of Caerphilly county. The area is characterised by its quiet, leafy streets and a mix of housing styles, from pre-war semis to larger detached homes.

The ward contains a significant amount of green space, including the large and popular Wenallt Hill, which offers woodland walks and extensive views back across the city. Rhiwbina Garden Village, with its distinctive cottage-style houses and communal greens, provides a specific architectural character to one part of the area. The overall atmosphere is settled and community-focused, with several local schools and active resident associations.
