About

Porth West sits within the wider Porth area of the Rhondda Fawr valley. The landscape is defined by its steep valley sides and the River Rhondda, with terraced housing built along the contours of the hills. The area is residential, with local shops and services concentrated along the main thoroughfares that follow the valley floor. Its history is closely linked to the coal mining industry that once dominated the region.

A notable local feature is the former site of the Porth Colliery, which now serves as a public park and playing fields. The area’s layout and architecture are a direct result of its industrial past, with many homes originally built for mine workers. Transport connections, including the A4058 road and rail line, run through the valley, following the natural course of the river.
