About

Bedwas and Trethomas is a ward situated in the Caerphilly basin, north of the county borough's main town. The area is defined by the River Rhymney to the east and the wooded slopes of Mynydd Machen to the west. Its settlements are historically linked to the coal industry, with former colliery sites now largely redeveloped. The landscape is a mix of residential housing, light industrial estates, and reclaimed green spaces along the river corridor.

The community is served by local amenities including Bedwas High School and Bedwas Rugby Club. A network of footpaths connects the villages to surrounding countryside, including routes into the Machen Forge woodland. The area's infrastructure is anchored by the A468 road, which provides a direct link to Caerphilly and Newport. Residential areas are primarily composed of 20th-century housing, with some older terraced streets near the former industrial heart.
