Glynneath sits in the wooded hills of the Vale of Neath in Neath Port Talbot, Wales, with the river valley and upland moorland close at hand. The setting makes it a good base for walks and countryside pursuits, with attractive waterfalls and rural lanes nearby and a landscape that still shows the imprint of valley industry.
Historically the community expanded in the 19th century with coal mining and ironworking, and remnants of pits, railway earthworks and industrial archaeology are still visible. Today Glynneath retains a strong local identity - community events and a rugby club are important social hubs - while its economy is a mix of local services, light industry, tourism and commuting into nearby towns such as Neath and Swansea.
