About

Abersychan is situated in the eastern part of the Torfaen borough, within the steep-sided valleys of the South Wales coalfield. The area's layout is defined by these geographical contours, with residential streets and terraced housing following the slopes. The local landscape is marked by former industrial sites and regenerated green spaces that trace the course of the Afon Lwyd river.

The area contains the historical Blaendare Tramroad Tunnel, a notable early railway tunnel built in the early 19th century. This structure, now a scheduled monument, reflects the region's pioneering role in industrial transport history. Community facilities and local businesses are concentrated along the main thoroughfares serving the residential neighbourhoods.
