| OS grid ref: | ST 15 85 |
The St. Martins ward sits within the county borough of Caerphilly in south Wales, covering a mix of residential streets, small local shops and pockets of green space on the edge of the town centre. Its nearness to Caerphilly Castle and reasonable transport connections towards Cardiff give it a slightly more urban feel than some of the surrounding valleys.
Historically part of the South Wales coalfield hinterland, the area blends Victorian terraces with post‑war estates and is served by active community groups, schools and local services; contemporary concerns often centre on regeneration, housing and preserving local heritage while improving amenities for families and older residents.
