About

Cwmbach is a community ward situated within the Cynon Valley, following the course of the River Cynon. The area is characterised by its steep valley sides and traditional terraced housing, which line the hillsides in distinctive rows. Its layout and development were historically shaped by the coal mining industry, with former colliery sites influencing the local landscape. The ward functions as a residential area with local services centred along its main roads.

The community is served by its own railway station on the Merthyr Line, providing a direct link to Cardiff. A notable local feature is the Cwmbach Male Choir, which maintains a long-standing cultural tradition within the valley. Green spaces like the riverside paths and the surrounding upland common offer accessible areas for recreation. The ward's social history is closely connected to the broader narrative of the South Wales Valleys.
