About

Glyn-coch & Ynys-y-bwl is a residential community situated on the steep hillsides above Pontypridd in the Cynon Valley. The area is characterised by rows of traditional terraced houses, built to house coal miners, overlooking the valley below.

The area is defined by its elevated position and the network of narrow, winding roads connecting it. A local landmark is the prominent water tower on the hillside, a visible feature for miles around. The community is served by its own primary school and local shops, maintaining a distinct identity separate from the larger town in the valley.
