About

Tonypandy West and Clydach Vale sit within the steep-sided Rhondda Fawr valley. The landscape is defined by terraced housing built for the coal industry, following the contours of the hills. The area's layout and architecture are a direct legacy of its industrial past, with former colliery sites now repurposed into green spaces and business parks.

A prominent local feature is the Mynydd y Gelli wind farm, its turbines visible on the ridges above the communities. The area is connected by the A4119 road, and the former railway line through Clydach Vale is now part of the Taff Trail, a route for walking and cycling that follows the river.
