Bedwas

Bedwas is a village in the county borough of Caerphilly in Wales, situated on the eastern edge of the South Wales Valleys near the River Rhymney and just north of Cardiff. Historically part of Monmouthshire, it sits close to the town of Caerphilly and offers views across the surrounding valley landscape.

The village has a strong coal‑mining heritage - an old colliery once shaped much of its character - and today the local economy mixes commuters, light industry and small businesses. Community life is active, with local clubs, pubs and halls, and easy access to landmarks such as Caerphilly Castle and the rest of South Wales, so Bedwas feels like a compact residential place with a visible industrial past.
