About

Trowbridge is situated in the east of Cardiff, forming part of the city's extensive suburban landscape. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing developments from different periods. It is bordered by the River Rhymney to the east, which acts as a natural boundary with Newport. Local amenities are focused around several district shopping parades, providing essential services to the community.

The area is notably flat, its topography shaped by its position on the coastal plain. A significant local feature is the former Trowbridge Green, a large area of common land historically used for grazing, which has been largely absorbed by later housing. Road connections are central to the area's layout, with the A48 Eastern Avenue running along its southern edge, providing a key route into the city centre.
