Pengam is a compact parish village in Caerphilly County Borough, set in the Rhymney Valley of south Wales. It grew up with the South Wales coalfield in the 19th century, so the landscape mixes terraced streets and the odd industrial relic with green spaces and views towards the surrounding valley hills.
Historically tied to mining and engineering, Pengam retains a strong local identity and community life even as the economy has shifted towards commuting and light industry; the local railway on the Rhymney line links residents into Cardiff and the wider Valleys. You’ll find memorials and social clubs that reflect the village’s industrial past alongside small shops, pubs and community centres that keep village life active.
