About

Dyffryn ward covers a portion of the Neath Valley floor and its surrounding slopes. The area is characterised by a mix of residential communities, industrial heritage sites, and stretches of green upland. The River Neath flows through the ward, with the A465 Heads of the Valleys road running parallel, defining much of the local transport infrastructure. Land use is varied, encompassing housing estates, former colliery land, and areas of managed woodland.

The ward includes several distinct villages such as Cwmgwrach and Glynneath, which retain their own community centres and facilities. The landscape is marked by the visible presence of the old coal industry, with some tips now reclaimed by nature. A network of footpaths follows the river and old tramways, providing access to the surrounding hills. The terrain rises towards the northern boundary, where it meets the higher ground of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
