Ynysybwl

About

Ynysybwl sits within the Cwm Clydach valley, a community shaped by its industrial past. The area is defined by steep, wooded valley sides that rise sharply from the River Clydach. The settlement's layout follows the main road running through the valley floor, with rows of traditional terraced housing built for former coal miners. Remnants of the colliery era remain visible in the landscape, alongside more modern housing developments on available land.

The local geography is central, with the surrounding hills providing a clear boundary. Recreational paths follow old tramway and railway routes into the greenery of the valleysides. A specific local feature is the annual 'Coal and Dolomite' festival, reflecting the area's historical reliance on both mining and the nearby quarries. Community life focuses on local sports clubs, shops along the main street, and the active welfare hall.
