About

New Tredegar and the Darren Valley are situated within the steep-sided valleys of the Sirhowy River and its tributaries. The landscape is heavily defined by its industrial past, with former colliery sites and terraced housing built along the narrow valley floors and lower slopes. The area is residential, with local services concentrated in the village centre. The surrounding hillsides are covered in extensive forestry plantations and rough grassland.

A prominent feature is the large, landscaped spoil tip known as the 'Black Vein', now grassed over and crossed by walking paths. The Darren Valley Country Park, centred on a series of reclaimed lakes, provides a focus for recreation. The Sirhowy Valley Walk follows the river course through the area, connecting to a wider network of trails through former industrial land now given over to nature.
