About

Abertillery North and Cwmtillery are neighbouring communities situated in the steep-sided Ebbw Fach valley. The area is defined by its industrial heritage, with terraced housing ascending the valley slopes from the main road and river. Former colliery sites and other industrial land remain significant features within the landscape, shaping the physical layout of the towns.

The area is closely connected to the surrounding upland common, with local footpaths providing direct access to the open moorland. A prominent local landmark is the large, tiered spoil tip known locally as "The Rock," which has been landscaped and now stands as a green hill overlooking the valley, a clear testament to the area's transformation.
