The area of Cymer and Glyncorrwg sits in the steep, wooded Afan Valley of Neath Port Talbot, Wales, following the course of the River Afan. Set among forestry and reclaimed industrial land, it offers dramatic upland scenery, ponds and trails that have become popular for walking, mountain biking and outdoor recreation in and around Afan Forest Park.
Historically these were tight-knit coal‑mining communities and although the pits closed decades ago the villages retain a strong local identity and community projects; economic life has shifted towards tourism, forestry and commuting to nearby towns such as Port Talbot and Swansea. Visitors will notice relics of the industrial past alongside new leisure facilities, and a resilient social fabric that values landscape‑led regeneration.
