About

Maesycwmmer is a ward situated in the Sirhowy Valley, northwest of Ystrad Mynach. The area is primarily residential, with housing estates built across its hillsides.

The ward contains areas of open space and woodland, such as near the Nant y Ddraenen stream. Its landscape is characterised by the steep valley sides typical of this part of South Wales.
