| OS grid ref: | ST 42 86 |
Magor West sits on the low-lying coastal plain of Monmouthshire in south‑east Wales, close to the salt‑marshes of the Severn Estuary and the reclaimed fields of the Caldicot Levels. Its setting gives a mix of agricultural landscapes and protected wetland habitat nearby, notably around Magor Marsh, while good road and rail links to Newport and Cardiff via the M4 corridor make it a popular commuter area.
The ward reflects a village‑scale social life with local shops, pubs and community groups and has grown significantly in recent decades from an agricultural past into a commuter and family community. There are hints of long history in lanes and churchyards of nearby Magor and Undy, and the balance between rural character and modern housing and light industry shapes its local economy and everyday culture.
