About

Cwm Clydach is a steep-sided, narrow valley ward located in the northern part of Rhondda Cynon Taf. The community is primarily residential, with terraced housing lining the main road that follows the course of the Clydach River. The landscape is dominated by former industrial sites and the dense, wooded slopes that rise sharply on either side of the valley floor. This topography has historically defined its settlement patterns.

The area's past is closely tied to coal mining, with the remnants of the Clydach Vale collieries shaping the local environment. A notable local feature is the comprehensive reclamation work that has transformed old spoil tips into community green spaces. The ward includes the distinct neighbourhoods of Clydach Vale and Tyntetown, which are connected by the winding A4061 road. Social and recreational facilities are focused within these residential clusters.
