About

Beaufort ward sits on the northern edge of Blaenau Gwent, bordering the county of Powys. The area is characterised by its steep valley sides and the presence of the Beaufort Hill Pits, a significant former colliery site that shaped its development. The settlement is primarily residential, with housing terraces following the contours of the land. The local landscape is dominated by the large, reclaimed spoil tip known locally as "The Tip," which has been landscaped and now features walking paths.

The community is served by local shops and amenities along the main road. The Beaufort Theatre is a notable venue for local events and performances. A distinctive feature is the historic tramroad incline, part of the early 19th-century Sirhowy Tramroad, where horse-drawn wagons once transported iron and coal. This industrial heritage remains visible in the terrain and old routes now used for recreation, connecting the ward to its past.
