The community includes the villages of Govilon, Llanwenarth, Llanellen and Llanfoist itself. The name of the local school is also Llanfoist Fawr.

Llanfoist Fawr is also the name of a county electoral ward, which elects a county councillor to Monmouthshire County Council. The county ward includes part of the Llanfoist Fawr community, namely the community wards of Llanfoist, Llanellen and Llanwenarth Citra.[5] The Llanwenarth Ultra ward (covering Govilon) elects its own county councillor. All four community wards elect or co-opt up to twelve community councillors to Llanfoist Fawr Community Council.[6]
