About

Neath North is a residential ward situated on the northern edge of Neath town centre. The area is primarily composed of housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern estates. It is bordered by the River Clydach to the west and contains several local schools and community facilities. The ward's landscape is characterised by its proximity to the lower slopes of surrounding hills, which influence its street patterns.

A notable local feature is Gnoll Park, a large historic country park with woodlands, lakes, and the ruins of an 18th-century mansion. The ward is well-connected by the A465 Heads of the Valleys road. Residential life here is supported by local shopping parades along main routes, serving the immediate neighbourhoods without the bustle of the central town.
