About

Maesteg East sits within the wider Maesteg town area in the Llynfi Valley. The landscape is defined by the surrounding hillsides, with residential streets following the valley's contours. Housing is primarily a mix of traditional terraced homes and later developments. The area is residential in character, with local amenities concentrated along the main roads that connect it to the town centre.

The area's history is tied to the coal industry, with the former Caerau Colliery site now largely reclaimed by nature as part of the wider Parc Slip Nature Reserve network. This provides accessible green space on the valley slopes. Daily life revolves around local schools, community centres, and the nearby Maesteg Welfare Park, which hosts sporting fixtures and public events.
