About

The Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen and Lower Brynamman ward lies in the upper reaches of the Amman Valley, bordering Carmarthenshire. Its landscape is defined by its industrial past, with former colliery sites and tips shaping the terrain around the communities. The area is residential, with housing spread across the valley sides and along the main road corridor. Local services are concentrated in the village centres, supporting the surrounding population.

A distinctive feature is the Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen Golf Club, a public course uniquely situated on reclaimed land from the old Gwaun-Clwyd colliery. The ward's upland edges offer views across the valley, with rural lanes leading out from the built-up areas. The River Amman flows through, and the area is connected by the A474 road, which links to neighbouring towns.
