Aber Valley

About

Aber Valley ward lies in the southern part of the Caerphilly county borough, encompassing the villages of Abertridwr and Senghenydd. The area is defined by its position on the steep, wooded slopes of the valley from which it takes its name. Historically, its development was shaped by the coal industry, with former colliery sites now integrated into the landscape. Residential streets and local community facilities form the core of the settlements here.

The geography influences daily life, with terraced housing following the contours of the hills. A prominent local feature is the Senghenydd memorial garden, which serves as a community focal point. The ward is connected to the wider region by main roads running through the valley, with open countryside and forestry accessible at its edges. This creates a distinct setting where community history is visibly part of the environment.
