About

Cilfynydd is a community ward situated in the Cynon Valley, northwest of Pontypridd. The area is characterised by its steep valley sides and residential streets, with housing primarily consisting of terraced and semi-detached homes. The ward is bordered by the River Taff, which has historically influenced its development. Land use is largely residential, with local services concentrated along the main thoroughfares serving the community.

The landscape is dominated by the surrounding wooded hillsides, which form a distinct backdrop. A notable local feature is the large, disused cooling towers of the former Cilfynydd power station, which remain a prominent landmark in the valley. The Taff Trail, a long-distance walking and cycling route, follows the river through the area, providing a green corridor. Community facilities include a primary school and several recreational spaces.
