About

Ystrad is a community ward situated in the Rhondda Fawr valley. It lies directly between the larger towns of Tonypandy and Llwynypia, forming a continuous urban stretch along the A4058 road. The area is primarily residential, with terraced housing characteristic of the valley's historic development. The landscape is defined by steep valley sides, with local amenities and services concentrated along the main thoroughfare.

The ward contains Ystrad Sports Centre, a focal point for local recreation. A notable local feature is the Mynydd Ystrad, the open hillside common land that rises sharply behind the houses, offering walking routes and views over the rooftops. The area's history is connected to the coal industry, though no major collieries operate within the ward today. Community life centres around its schools, chapels, and several small commercial premises serving daily needs.
