About

Ebbw Vale South & Cwm occupies the upper reaches of the Ebbw Fach valley, a landscape shaped by its industrial past. The area is defined by steep, green valley sides and the linear settlement pattern following the river and former railway lines. Housing is primarily a mix of traditional terraced homes and post-war estates, with local amenities concentrated along the main roads serving the community.

The area's history is visibly anchored by the extensive, now-regenerated former steelworks site, a dominant feature at the valley floor. This legacy is a fundamental part of the local identity. Community life centres on practical facilities like schools, medical centres, and local shops, with the surrounding upland common land providing accessible open space for walking.
