About

Pentre is a community ward situated in the Rhondda Fawr valley, part of the Rhondda Cynon Taf county borough. The area is primarily residential, with terraced housing characteristic of the South Wales Valleys lining its hillsides. Its layout follows the main A4058 road and the River Rhondda, which runs through its centre. The local economy is supported by a mix of small independent shops and services along the main thoroughfare.

The geography is defined by steep valley sides, with green upland areas providing a backdrop. Community facilities such as schools and recreational grounds are focal points. The historic Pentre Cemetery on Cemetery Road is a notable local landmark, reflecting the area's long-standing development and community history.
