Church Village East & Ton-teg

Church Village East and Ton-teg form a residential area on the northern outskirts of Pontypridd. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and housing estates built across different decades, from older terraces to modern developments. The area is primarily residential, with local amenities concentrated along the main roads serving the community's daily needs. It functions as a commuter settlement, with good road links to the M4 motorway facilitating travel to Cardiff and other parts of the South Wales valleys.

The topography shapes the area, with many streets offering views across the valley. A notable local feature is the historic Tonteg railway station, which despite no longer being in regular passenger use, remains a physical marker of the area's past connections to the Taff Vale Railway. Green spaces like local parks and the nearby countryside provide recreational areas. The overall character is that of a practical, hillside community within the wider Rhondda Cynon Taf county borough.
