About

The area comprises the former mining communities of Rhymney, Pontlottyn and Abertysswg, situated in the upper Rhymney Valley. The landscape is defined by steep valley sides and the course of the River Rhymney. Terraced housing, built for the industrial workforce, characterises the settlements, with local amenities and services concentrated along the main roads.

The area's history is closely tied to the now-closed deep coal mines and the ironworks that once operated here. A surviving landmark is the Rhymney Bridge, a notable multi-arched viaduct that carries the railway high above the valley floor. Community life often centres around local rugby clubs, sports grounds, and the annual Rhymney Festival.
