About

Aberdare West is a residential district situated on the western side of the Cynon Valley. The area is characterised by its terraced housing, which climbs the valley slopes, and local amenities serving the community. It is directly bordered by the town centre to the east and open moorland to the north, providing a clear transition from urban to rural landscapes. The layout follows the contours of the land, with streets offering views across the valley.

A central feature is the Dare Valley Country Park, a large reclaimed industrial area now offering extensive walking paths and woodland. The district includes several schools and recreational grounds, supporting everyday life. The local road network connects it to other parts of Aberdare and wider valley communities. The area's history is visibly linked to the coal industry, with former colliery sites integrated into the green spaces.
