About

Argoed ward lies in the eastern part of Caerphilly county borough. The area is characterised by its elevated position on the western slopes of the Sirhowy Valley. Settlement is primarily focused around the village of Argoed itself, with residential streets extending into surrounding communities. The landscape includes areas of managed woodland and open hillside, with the topography shaping the layout of local roads and housing developments.

The ward's geography is defined by the nearby Sirhowy River and the distinct ridge of Mynydd Machen to the south. Local infrastructure includes primary schools and community facilities serving the resident population. The presence of former mining land, now largely reclaimed, influences the green spaces within the area. Views from higher ground extend across the valley towards the neighbouring county.
