About

Pontyclun East is a residential and rural ward situated within the Pontyclun community. The area is characterised by a mix of housing estates and open farmland, with the M4 motorway forming a significant boundary to the south. This location provides direct transport links while separating it from the more commercial core of Pontyclun village itself. The topography includes gentle slopes leading down towards the River Ely, which flows along its western edge.

The ward contains the distinct village of Talbot Green, known for its large retail park which serves as a major shopping destination for the wider region. Alongside this modern development are older residential streets and areas of working agricultural land. A notable local feature is the historic motte and bailey castle mound near the church in Miskin, a remnant of the area's Norman past set within the green landscape.
