About

Brynmawr occupies a high plateau on the northeastern edge of Blaenau Gwent, its landscape shaped by its industrial past and the surrounding moorland. The town centre is a focal point with its post-war architecture, including the distinctive Market Hall building, which reflects a period of significant regeneration. The layout of the area is defined by its position along the heads of the valleys, with residential streets spreading out from the central core.

The local geography is marked by the prominent Brynmawr Rock, a large limestone outcrop that provides a clear landmark on the skyline. Surrounding green spaces like Waun Pond and the higher ground of the Blorenge mountain offer accessible outdoor areas. The area's history is closely linked to former coal mining and ironworking, with some old industrial sites now repurposed within the community.
