Ebbw Vale North is a parish at the northern edge of Ebbw Vale in the county borough of Blaenau Gwent, Wales, set on the high ground above the Ebbw valley. The area offers broad, often mist‑tipped views across the former industrial landscape of the South Wales Valleys and is close to upland countryside that leads towards the Brecon Beacons, while still being within easy reach of the town’s shops and local services.
Historically the community grew up around coalmining and steelmaking, and that industrial legacy is visible in former works and miners’ housing. Since those industries declined the parish has seen steady regeneration, with new housing, community projects, and improved transport links including the Ebbw Vale rail connection to Cardiff, alongside active local clubs, churches and heritage groups that keep a strong sense of community and local identity.
