About

Ystradgynlais sits on the banks of the River Tawe at the head of the Swansea Valley. The town has a mix of housing, local shops and community facilities clustered along the river and valley floor. Evidence of 19th- and early 20th-century industry is visible in disused works, bridgeworks and altered river channels, while terraces and stone walls mark older settlement patterns. The river runs through the town before continuing south toward the coast, and local paths follow its course through wooded stretches and floodplain meadows.

Tawe Uchaf lies above the valley and includes the upper reaches and headwaters of the River Tawe. Land use is mainly pasture and upland common broken by small plantations, farms and scattered hamlets. Narrow lanes and public rights of way lead up onto moorland plateaus and ridges that feed the Tawe, so the community is defined as much by its river sources and drainage patterns as by the buildings and fields. Seasonal grazing, quarry scars and boundary banks record long-term land management here.
