About

Sketty is a residential ward situated to the west of Swansea city centre, bordering Singleton Park and the university campus. The area is characterised by tree-lined streets and a mix of housing, from larger detached homes to more modest terraces. Its proximity to the expansive parkland and the higher education institutions contributes significantly to its character and population.

The ward includes the village-like centre of Sketty Cross, with its local shops and services. A notable feature is the Grade II listed Sketty Hall, a 19th-century mansion set within its own grounds, which now serves as a public library and community venue. The area provides direct access to the wooded trails of Clyne Valley Country Park, offering a contrast to the suburban surroundings.
