About

Llanhilleth sits within the Ebbw Valley, characterised by steep hillsides and the river's course shaping its layout. The ward encompasses the compact village centre along the main road, with residential streets climbing the slopes. Former industrial sites, now largely reclaimed, are part of the landscape, speaking to the area's historical foundations in coal and steel.

The community is anchored by local amenities including shops and social clubs. The area is connected by the valley's transport routes, with the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal running through, offering a green corridor for walking and cycling. This waterway, once vital for industry, now provides a quiet, linear park through the settled terrain.
