Taff's Well

About

Taff's Well is a community ward located in the northern part of Rhondda Cynon Taf, bordering Cardiff. The area is defined by the River Taff and the surrounding steep, wooded valley sides of the Taff Gorge. Its landscape is a mix of residential housing and natural greenery, with the main A470 road and railway line running through the valley, connecting it to both Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys.

The ward includes the village of Taff's Well itself and the neighbouring community of Nantgarw. A notable local feature is the Taff's Well thermal spring, one of Wales's few natural warm water sources. The area's economy has historically been linked to nearby industry and quarrying, while today it primarily functions as a residential settlement with good transport links for commuting.
