About

Bedlinog and Trelewis ward lies within the Taff Bargoed Valley in the northern part of Merthyr Tydfil county borough. The area is characterised by its steep valley sides and former industrial landscape, with the settlements of Bedlinog and Trelewis situated along the main road. The geography is defined by its position between the larger towns of Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypridd, giving it a distinct, separate community feel.

A prominent local feature is the large, landscaped spoil tip known locally as the 'Pyramid', a reclaimed landmark from the area's coal mining past that now offers walking routes and views. The ward contains several recreational spaces, including Bedlinog Park and the Taff Bargoed Park, which follows the route of a disused railway line through the valley. Residential areas are mixed with areas of open countryside.
