Godre'r Graig sits in the upper reaches of the Swansea Valley within the county borough of Neath Port Talbot in Wales. Perched on valley slopes above the River Tawe, it has the compact form of a former mining village with easy road links to Swansea and Neath, and countryside and uplands close at hand for walking and views.
Like many communities in the South Wales coalfield, its history is shaped by 19th- and 20th-century coal and steel industries, and the post‑industrial years have brought a more residential character alongside strong local ties, chapel and rugby traditions and community projects aimed at keeping services and social life active. You’ll find a mixture of terraced housing, newer homes and small local businesses rather than heavy industry today.
