About

St Athan ward is a rural area in the Vale of Glamorgan, characterised by its farmland and the distinct presence of a large military establishment. The settlement of St Athan itself is a village centred around a historic church. The landscape is dominated by open fields and the notable infrastructure of the former RAF base, which shapes much of the local employment and land use.

A significant feature is the extensive MOD site, which includes the former RAF St Athan and now encompasses various defence and engineering functions. The area is bordered by smaller villages like East Aberthaw and Gileston, with the coastline along the Bristol Channel providing a mix of industrial activity and natural habitats, including the Aberthaw power stations. The ward maintains a quiet, community-focused atmosphere away from major urban centres.
