The ward of Pennard sits on the south‑western edge of the Gower Peninsula within the Swansea council area. It is dominated by coastal dunes and cliffs - Pennard Burrows and the sweep towards Three Cliffs Bay - offering wide views across the Bristol Channel and making the area popular with walkers and surfers.
Locally the ruined Pennard Castle and the links at Pennard Golf Club are well known landmarks; the economy is largely residential with tourism, outdoor recreation and farming important contributors. A small, close‑knit community is served by village amenities and a primary school, and parts of the coastline are managed as protected habitat, so conservation influences everyday life.
