About

Nantyglo ward lies within the Blaenau Gwent county borough, situated north of Brynmawr and bordering the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Residential streets and local amenities are set within this former industrial valley, with surrounding upland areas providing a rural contrast.

A notable landmark is the pair of early 19th-century ironworker fortifications, known locally as the Nantyglo Round Towers, built by the Bailey brothers. The ward's geography includes the headwaters of the Sirhowy River. Community life centres on local institutions and the enduring connection to the area's significant role in South Wales' industrial development.
