About Pen-twyn

Pen-tŵyn lies in the South Wales valleys, about 20km north of Cardiff via the A470 and local valley roads. The settlement connects to neighbouring communities like Trinant and Croespenmaen through a network of short routes under 10km, typical of the closely linked former mining towns in this area. With over 150 EV charging points nearby, the region supports both local travel and longer journeys. The winding roads still follow the original routes built to serve the coal mines that once defined these valleys.
