Swffryd is a small village in Blaenau Gwent in south‑east Wales, lying close to Abertillery and beside Llanhilleth. It expanded during the 19th century with the coal and iron industries, and the legacy of that industrial past is still visible in older terraced housing and former pit sites.
These days Swffryd is largely residential, with many residents commuting to places such as Ebbw Vale and Newport, and the reopened Ebbw Valley rail links at Llanhilleth have helped connectivity. Local life is centred on community facilities, a handful of shops and pubs, and there is easy access to the surrounding valleys and upland walking, so the village mixes post‑industrial character with outdoor appeal.
