Maesteg West

About

Maesteg West is a residential ward situated in the Llynfi Valley, forming part of the town of Maesteg. The area is primarily characterised by terraced housing, built during its historical development around the coal and iron industries. The landscape is defined by the surrounding valley sides, with streets often following the contours of the hills. Local amenities are concentrated along the main thoroughfares serving the community's daily needs.

The ward includes the distinct neighbourhood of Caerau, located on the western side of the valley. A specific local feature is the preserved winding engine house at the former Caerau Colliery, a visible reminder of the area's industrial heritage. Open green spaces and footpaths, such as those near the River Llynfi, provide accessible countryside on the urban fringe. The community maintains a strong sense of its own history and identity within the broader Bridgend county borough.
