About

Cyfarthfa ward lies in the northern part of Merthyr Tydfil, encompassing a mix of residential neighbourhoods and significant green spaces.

The ward is dominated by Cyfarthfa Park, a large Victorian parkland featuring a castle, museum, and expansive recreational grounds. The park borders the River Taff, which runs through the area, with walking paths following its course. This combination of industrial heritage and managed natural space shapes the local environment, providing both historical context and leisure facilities for residents.
