About

Wenvoe ward is a predominantly rural area situated north of Cardiff within the Vale of Glamorgan. Its landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and small residential settlements, with the village of Wenvoe itself at its heart. The area maintains a distinct separation from the suburban spread of the capital, offering a quieter setting. The local economy has historical ties to agriculture, though many residents now commute to Cardiff for work.

A notable local landmark is the Wenvoe transmitting station, a prominent lattice mast visible for miles that broadcasts television and radio signals. The ward contains several active farms and is traversed by rural lanes and public footpaths. St. Mary's Church, with origins dating back to the medieval period, stands in the village centre. The community is served by local facilities including a village hall and a primary school, sustaining its own social focus.
