About

Hengoed and Maesycwmmer sit in the lower Rhymney Valley in Caerphilly county borough, close to the boundary with the Heads of the Valleys. Hengoed is served by a station on the Rhymney Line, and the village functions as a local centre for schools, shops and community groups that serve surrounding settlements. The landscape still shows traces of the South Wales Coalfield era: former pit tips, spoil heaps and terraced streets sit alongside post‑industrial housing and allotments used by long‑standing local families.

The two communities are linked by lanes and public footpaths that climb into the valley sides, where pockets of reclaimed woodland and open grassland provide walking routes. At Maesycwmmer a brick railway viaduct carries the old line across the slope above the valley and is a visible landmark from nearby roads and footpaths. Local events, clubs and small-scale enterprises use village halls and social clubs as focal points for daily life, keeping services and social networks centred within the area.
