About

The Gwynfi and Croeserw ward lies in the upper Afan Valley, a landscape defined by its steep, green hillsides and the river that runs through it. This is a former coal mining area, with its communities built along the valley floor and lower slopes. The terrain shapes daily life, with roads following the contours of the land.

A network of old mineral lines and footpaths, part of the wider Afan Forest Park, now provides access into the surrounding hills for walking and cycling. The local rugby club is a focal point within the community. Remnants of the industrial past, like old engine houses and tips reclaimed by vegetation, are visible throughout the valley.
