About

Pontllanfraith is a community ward located within the wider Caerphilly county borough. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing types from older terraced homes to more modern estates. It sits on the western side of the Sirhowy River valley, with its topography characterised by steep hillsides leading down to the valley floor. The ward includes the distinct neighbourhoods of Pontllanfraith itself, along with parts of Blackwood and Pengam.

A notable local feature is the large, grassy mound known as Pen-y-Fan Pond, a reclaimed former colliery tip that now serves as a recreational green space with walking paths. The area’s layout is shaped by its industrial past, with former mining sites integrated into the community. Local amenities are concentrated along Commercial Street, providing essential shops and services for residents. Transport links follow the valley, with the main A4048 road running through the area.
