About

Abercynon ward sits at the meeting point of the Cynon, Taff, and Rhondda rivers, a confluence that historically shaped its development as a transport and industrial hub. The area's layout is defined by these valleys, with residential streets climbing the hillsides from the central core. Remnants of its industrial past, including old canal routes and railway infrastructure, remain visible features within the landscape.

The community is served by local amenities clustered near the train station, which provides a direct rail link to Cardiff. A specific local landmark is the former Abercynon Colliery site, where the first 'Dennis' underground coal winding engine was successfully used. Housing is primarily a mix of traditional terraced homes and more modern developments, with areas of green space following the river corridors.
