Bedlinog is a small village and community in the county borough of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, tucked into the southern slopes of the Taff Bargoed valley in the South Wales Valleys. Its elevated position gives pleasant views towards the surrounding hills and the fringes of the Brecon Beacons, and the landscape still shows the imprint of its industrial past.
Originally expanded in the 19th century with coal mining and associated industries, Bedlinog today combines that heritage with a strong local community spirit: small shops, a village hall and regular community events keep village life active, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work. The place is notable for its close-knit feel, accessible countryside walks and a persistent cultural link to the Valleys' mining history.
