About

The Abertillery and Six Bells ward is situated in the Ebbw Fach valley, a former heartland of the South Wales coalfield. The landscape is defined by its steep, green valley sides and the urban settlement that follows the course of the river. The community is closely connected to its industrial past, with the land shaped by historical mining activity. The built environment consists largely of traditional terraced housing and local commercial streets serving the residential areas.

A prominent local feature is the Guardian memorial at Six Bells, a large steel sculpture overlooking the community. The area includes recreational spaces like the Parc Arael Griffin, which offers walking paths on reclaimed land. The ward functions as a residential centre for the upper valley, with a focus on community-led facilities and local history. The topography and settlement pattern remain directly influenced by the region's extractive industries.
