About

The Machen and Rudry ward encompasses a series of small villages and hamlets set within the steep, wooded valleys north of Caerphilly. The area is defined by its topography, with residential settlements like Bedwas and Trethomas situated along the river corridors, while more rural communities perch on the surrounding hillsides. This creates a distinct separation between the built environment and the extensive tracts of forestry and open countryside that dominate the landscape.

The ward's history is closely linked to the industrial past of the South Wales Valleys, with former colliery sites now largely reclaimed by nature. A narrow-gauge railway, originally built to serve local industry, now operates as a heritage tourist line, running steam locomotives through the scenic valley. The geography naturally directs activity and travel along the valley floors, with the M4 motorway forming a prominent northern boundary, separating the ward from the city of Newport.
