Crosskeys South & Ynysddu

About

Crosskeys South & Ynysddu lies within the steep-sided valleys of the Sirhowy and Ebbw rivers. The landscape is defined by former industrial sites and terraced housing built along the valley floors and lower slopes. The area is connected by the A467 road, which follows the river corridors, and includes the distinct communities of Crosskeys and Ynysddu, separated by a few miles of this valley terrain.

A notable local landmark is the large, now inactive, Maes-y-cwmmer colliery spoil tip, which dominates the view north of Crosskeys. The area's history is closely linked to coal mining, with many community features originating from that era. The Sirhowy Valley Walk, a recreational path on a former railway line, passes through Ynysddu, following the river.
