Brynmawr is just off the A465, better known as the Heads of the Valleys Road, which runs through the historic and stunning South Wales Valleys. There are good road links down to Newport and the M4, and there’s a direct train from Ebbw Vale (only a mile away) to Cardiff, which takes an hour.
Brynmawr’s heyday was during the time of the Nantyglo ironworks. Housing was needed for the many miners, and the town flourished. Today the town retains a strong community ethos, and there’s everything you need, with big supermarkets as well as smaller independent shops. Brynmawr is particularly popular with first time buyers and young families: property is affordable and a number of the schools, including Blaen-y-Cwm and Glyncoed primary schools, are rated 'good'.
