Wenvoe is a semi-rural ward on the eastern edge of the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, sitting on rolling, elevated farmland that looks towards Cardiff. The area includes the village and surrounding countryside, with noteworthy ancient landmarks nearby such as the Neolithic burial sites at St Lythans and Tinkinswood, and remnants of estate-landscape features that hint at a long local history.
Today the ward combines farming and open spaces with a strong commuter presence for people working in the city, while retaining village amenities like a primary school, pubs, a village hall and leisure facilities such as Wenvoe Castle Golf Club. Local life tends to centre on community events and church and school activities, giving it the feel of a close-knit rural community that is nonetheless closely tied into the economic and social life of nearby Cardiff.
