About

Aberdare East and Cwm-bach are situated in the Cynon Valley, north of Aberdare town centre. The area is primarily residential, with terraced housing and some post-war estates built across the valley slopes. The landscape is defined by the River Cynon and the surrounding hills, with pockets of woodland. Industrial heritage is visible in the form of old railway lines and former colliery sites now largely reclaimed by nature.

A local landmark is the Gadlys Ironworks engine house, a preserved stone structure that is a remnant of the area's earlier ironmaking history. The area is served by local schools and community facilities. Public footpaths lead into the surrounding countryside, including routes along the river and up towards Mynydd Aberdare.
