Abertysswg is a small village in the county borough of Caerphilly, set on the slopes of the Rhymney Valley in South Wales. It has the compact, terraced-street feel of many former coal-mining communities, with hilltop views and a landscape still marked by the remnants of its industrial past.
Growing during the 19th-century coal boom, Abertysswg remains largely residential today, with many people commuting to nearby towns and to Cardiff. Local life centres on community halls, grassroots sports and valley walking; there have been modest regeneration efforts aiming to preserve industrial heritage while improving local services and opportunities.
