Cockett

Map of the community

Cockett () is a district and community in Swansea, Wales falling within Cockett ward. It is located about 1.5 mi north-west of Swansea city centre. It includes the eastern half of Gowerton.

Cockett, in common with much of western Swansea, was the result of late Victorian and early twentieth century expansion. More housing estates were developed during the 20th century and further housing was constructed near the Townhill district in the early 2000s. The area now has a broad mix of housing stock. 83 per cent of the property in the Cockett neighbourhood is owner occupied.{{cite web |access-date = 2008-06-25

The main road through Cockett is the A4216 road linking Sketty to the south with Fforestfach to the north. Cockett railway station is a currently disused railway station to the north, by Station Road. The old platforms on the West Wales Lines are still in place and there are proposals by South West Wales Integrated Transport Consortium to reinstate this station in the future, which would provide a 10-minute journey to Swansea railway station in the city centre.{{cite web | access-date = 2008-06-25 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110607075754/http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%20documents/rus%20documents/route%20utilisation%20strategies/wales/wales%20rus.pdf | archive-date = 7 June 2011 | url-status = dead |access-date = 2008-06-25
