Cwm is a small village in the county borough of Blaenau Gwent in southeast Wales, tucked into one of the steep valleys of the South Wales Valleys. Its setting gives it the rolling hills and scenic views typical of the region, while also placing it within easy reach of larger valley towns.
Like many communities here, Cwm has a strong industrial heritage rooted in coal and iron, with terraced streets, chapels and social clubs that reflect that past. Since the decline of heavy industry the village has seen pockets of regeneration and remains a close‑knit place with outdoor walking opportunities and straightforward links to nearby centres such as Ebbw Vale and Abertillery.
