About

Llangynwyd ward lies in the northern part of Bridgend County Borough, encompassing the historic village of Llangynwyd itself along with the communities of Maesteg and the surrounding upland valleys. The area is defined by its industrial past, with the landscape still bearing the marks of the coal mining that once dominated the local economy. The terrain rises from valley floors towards the southern edges of the Brecon Beacons National Park, featuring wooded hillsides and former colliery sites.

A notable local landmark is the ancient Llangynwyd parish church, dedicated to St Cynwyd, which sits on a prominent hilltop site. The area is also known for the annual Mari Lwyd tradition, a distinctive folk custom involving a decorated horse's skull. Modern life centres on the town of Maesteg, with its commercial streets and cultural facilities, while the surrounding villages maintain a quieter, residential character amidst the green slopes.
