About

Caerphilly South is a residential district located on the southern side of the town centre, characterised by its mixture of housing types. The area includes terraced homes, post-war estates, and some modern developments, forming a settled community. It is bordered by the main A469 road, which provides a key transport link towards Cardiff and the wider valleys. The topography is gently sloping, with streets offering views towards the surrounding hills that define the valley landscape.

A central feature is Nantgarw Road, a major thoroughfare lined with local convenience shops and services catering to daily needs. The area is in close proximity to Caerphilly Castle, one of the largest fortifications in Britain, whose medieval walls and leaning tower are visible from several points. Green spaces like Morgan Jones Park provide recreational areas, while the overall atmosphere is functional and residential, focused on community facilities rather than commercial tourism.
