Llanhilleth is a small former mining village in Blaenau Gwent, Wales, set in the lower slopes of the Ebbw Valley between Abertillery and Ebbw Vale. It sits close to the River Ebbw Fach and surrounding moorland, and benefits from the Ebbw Valley rail link into Cardiff, making it both a local service centre and a commuter base for the South Wales Valleys.
The village’s character was shaped by coal mining and heavy industry, and that heritage remains visible in community institutions, local clubs and regeneration projects aimed at diversifying the economy. Today Llanhilleth combines a strong community spirit with basic shops, sports clubs and access to rural walking country, reflecting the social and economic transition common to former pit villages in the region.
