Crosskeys is an electoral ward in the county borough of Caerphilly, in south-eastern Wales. Nestled in the Sirhowy Valley, the area developed in the 19th century around coal and iron industries, and the legacy of that industrial past is still visible in terraces, old colliery sites and the local street pattern.
Today Crosskeys mixes a strong community spirit - seen in its rugby club, local pubs and community groups - with commuter links to nearby towns such as Newport and Caerphilly, and an educational presence through a Coleg Gwent campus. It also benefits from easy access to surrounding green spaces and walking routes, so its character now combines residential life, education and leisure alongside ongoing regeneration.
