Pen-y-graig

About

Pen-y-graig is a ward in the Rhondda Fawr valley, situated between Tonypandy and Llwynypia. Its landscape is defined by steep valley sides and terraced housing built for the coal industry. The area includes the distinct communities of Pen-y-graig itself and Trealaw, which share a common historical and industrial heritage. The main road, the A4119, runs through the ward, connecting it to the wider valley.

The local geography is marked by the River Rhondda and the former railway line, now a cycle path. The area's social and commercial facilities are focused along its main thoroughfares. Pen-y-graig reflects the typical pattern of settlement in the South Wales Valleys, shaped directly by its industrial past and topographical constraints.
