About

Pengam and Cefn Fforest lie in Caerphilly county borough, close to the town of Blackwood. The area is a mix of terraced housing, post‑war estates and small local shops clustered along former main thoroughfares. Pengam has a rail stop on the Rhymney line, which provides regular services toward Cardiff and Rhymney and shapes daily commuting patterns. Community facilities include primary schools, social clubs and playing fields that serve families across the neighbouring streets.

Both places retain traces of their coal‑mining past: disused colliery sites, spoil tips and miners’ welfare halls sit alongside pockets of parkland and short footpaths that lead up onto the local ridge. Cefn Fforest occupies higher ground and offers views across the surrounding valley, while Pengam sits closer to the line of transport links that once served the pits. Local life centres on small enterprises, community centres and amateur sports, and the pattern of weekday travel reflects the link between the settlements and nearby employment hubs.
