West Cross

About

West Cross is a residential ward positioned on the western edge of the city, overlooking Swansea Bay. The area is characterised by its mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to larger detached properties on leafy streets. It functions primarily as a commuter area for the city centre, with local shopping parades serving the community. The topography slopes gently toward the sea, offering views across the water from many points.

The ward includes a section of the sweeping, curving promenade that runs along Swansea Bay, a popular route for walking and cycling. This connects to the wider waterfront path system. A notable local landmark is the former Tivoli Theatre building, which has been repurposed for other commercial uses. The area contains several primary schools and is near comprehensive schools, reinforcing its family-oriented nature.
