Pen Y Fal is an electoral ward on the edge of Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, Wales, centred on a predominantly residential neighbourhood with a mix of post‑war and modern housing. Its Welsh name, meaning roughly "top of the cliff", hints at the area's situation on rising ground above the town and the pleasant views many streets enjoy across the Usk valley.
Locally the ward shares in Abergavenny's market‑town character and community life, with easy access to shops, schools and the rail and road links from the town. The landscape around the ward links into the outer fringes of the Brecon Beacons, with landmarks such as the Blorenge and Skirrid visible on clearer days, while many residents commute further afield to centres like Cardiff for work.
