About

Porth East lies in the Rhondda Fawr valley, characterised by its terraced housing built into the steep valley sides. The area is a former coal mining community, with its layout and infrastructure historically shaped by the industry. The River Rhondda flows through, and the main A4058 road follows the valley floor, connecting the settlement to Pontypridd and the upper Rhondda.

Ynys-hir is a distinct residential area situated on the hillside to the east of Porth centre. It offers elevated views across the valley. The locality is notable for the Ynys-hir Reservoir, a compact body of water nestled in the greenery above the houses, which serves as a local landmark and a quiet spot within the urban landscape.
