Cadoxton & Bryn-coch

Cadoxton sits on the eastern edge of Neath town, centred around its historic parish church. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. The main thoroughfare, Cadoxton Road, is lined with local shops and services catering to the immediate community. The nearby Cadoxton River flows through a wooded valley, providing a green corridor.

Bryn-coch is a large housing estate located on the hillside to the north, characterised by its post-war and later suburban homes. The layout is defined by its looping roads and cul-de-sacs. A notable local feature is the large, man-made Bryn-coch Reservoir, which is encircled by a popular walking path and offers views across the Neath Valley. The area is served by several schools and community facilities.
