Cymer and Glyncorrwg

About

The Cymer and Glyncorrwg ward is situated in the upper Afan Valley, a historically significant area shaped by coal mining. The landscape is defined by steep, forested valley sides and the course of the River Afan. Settlements are linear, following the valley floor and older road networks, with a mix of traditional stone terraced housing and more modern developments. The community retains a strong sense of its industrial heritage.

The area's history is visibly present in features like the preserved Glyncorrwg Pits and the extensive network of paths that form part of the Afan Forest Park. These trails, repurposed from old mineral railways, are a central focus for outdoor recreation, particularly mountain biking. The geography creates a distinct, enclosed environment separate from the coastal towns of the borough.
