About

Penrhiw-ceibr is a community ward located in the Rhondda Fawr valley. It sits on the eastern slopes of the valley, with its residential streets and housing terraces arranged on the hillsides. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of older terraced housing and more modern developments. The landscape is defined by the steep valley sides and the presence of local green spaces and wooded areas that separate it from neighbouring villages.

The ward's name originates from the Welsh for "hill of the hooves." It is connected to the valley floor and the main A4058 road by a series of narrow, winding lanes. The community is served by its own primary school and a small number of local shops. The surrounding hillsides are crisscrossed by public footpaths that offer views across the Rhondda.
