About

Crosskeys North and Crosskeys are communities in Caerphilly County Borough in South Wales, historically shaped by 19th‑century coal and iron industries.

The Crosskeys campus of Coleg Gwent sits close to the village centre and Crosskeys RFC provides a focal point for sport and local events. Short distances between housing and community facilities make the area compact and walkable.

Former colliery sites have been partially reclaimed and are crossed by footpaths used for walking and cycling. Local groups run halls and clubs; public green spaces and playgrounds are interwoven with streets of terraces. The area is administered from Caerphilly County Borough and maintains festivals and commemorations tied to its working‑class history.
