About

Aberaman sits in the Cynon Valley of Rhondda Cynon Taf, a short distance east of Aberdare town centre. The settlement grew around coal and iron industries in the 19th century, and rows of miners’ terraces remain along the valley streets. The River Cynon runs close by and the A4059 provides the main road link through the area. Local shops and community venues line the main thoroughfare, while churches, a library and a primary school serve residents.

Community life still centres on a few long-standing institutions. The former Aberaman Institute building stands on the main street as a reminder of miners’ self-help organisations, and a local rugby club and community centre host weekend fixtures and events. Small public parks and allotments provide green space between housing blocks and the valley slopes. Regular bus services connect Aberaman with neighbouring settlements, keeping access to jobs and services across Rhondda Cynon Taf.
