About

Glanamman is a community ward located in the Amman Valley, centred around the village of the same name. Historically, it was a significant anthracite coal mining area, an industry that shaped its development and landscape. The ward includes the neighbouring settlement of Garnant and is part of the larger continuous urban area along the River Amman. The local economy has transitioned since the decline of deep mining, with light industry and services now more prominent.

The area is characterised by its position within the valley, with residential streets following the contours of the hills. It contains community facilities such as the Amman Valley Leisure Centre and Parc Amanwy. The landscape is marked by the presence of former colliery sites, some of which have been reclaimed by nature, offering walking routes like the Garnant Country Park on the site of the old Gwaun-Clawdd colliery.
