About

Bryn and Cwmavon is a ward situated within the steep-sided valleys of the Afan Valley in Neath Port Talbot. The area is defined by its industrial heritage, with former coal mining and steelworking sites shaping the landscape. The communities of Bryn and Cwmavon are positioned along the valley floor, with residential streets climbing the surrounding hillsides. The ward is bordered by the River Afan and the A4107 road, which follows the course of the valley.

The area's history is visibly present in structures like the preserved Cwmavon blast furnaces, a relic of the 19th-century copper and iron industry. The local environment is now largely wooded, with sections of the Afan Forest Park located within the ward. This provides a network of trails for walking and cycling, repurposing old industrial routes. The geography creates a distinct, enclosed settlement pattern separate from the coastal towns of the borough.
