About

Oakdale and Pen-twyn lie in Caerphilly county borough, South Wales, and grew up around the coal industry. Oakdale was laid out as a model village for colliery workers, with planned streets, long gardens and allotments that still shape the settlement. A miners’ institute sits at the heart of the village and has historically housed a library and meeting rooms, anchoring local social life. Pen-twyn sits immediately nearby and shares schools, shops and other facilities with Oakdale, so the two places function as a single local community.

Today the area combines residential streets with patches of farmland and woodland, and a network of footpaths and lanes that link into neighbouring valleys. Local provisions include a primary school, community hall, sports pitches and small retail outlets. Bus services connect the villages with Blackwood, Caerphilly and Newport, while roads provide access for commuters. Community activities often centre on the institute and sports clubs, and the village layout and street names still reflect the coal-mining past.
