Croeserw is a small former colliery village set on the slopes of the Afan Valley in the Neath Port Talbot area of Wales. Perched above the River Afan, it enjoys the moorland views and valley scenery typical of South Wales and sits close to a number of outdoor recreation routes.
Historically a coal‑mining community, the village was affected by pit closures in the late 20th century and since then has focused on regeneration and community activity. Many residents commute to nearby Port Talbot or work in tourism and outdoor pursuits linked to places such as Afan Forest Park, and the village still retains a strong local identity through clubs, volunteer projects and small‑scale enterprises.
