About

Ebbw Vale South ward lies in the central valley of Blaenau Gwent, shaped by the steep hillsides that define the area. The settlement is linear, following the course of the Ebbw River and the main A4046 road. Housing is primarily a mix of post-war terraced homes and later developments, with community facilities like schools and local shops serving the residential streets. The topography creates distinct neighbourhoods on different levels of the valley slope.

The area's industrial heritage is evident in the landscape, with former steelworks sites repurposed for modern use. One prominent feature is the multi-level Ebbw Vale Garden Festival site, a large green space created on reclaimed land that now provides walking paths and leisure areas. The ward is residential in character, with a focus on local services and community infrastructure rather than a central town centre.
