Rhos is a small village in Neath Port Talbot, Wales, tucked into the rolling countryside of the western valleys. It sits within the landscape often associated with the Vale of Neath and the broader South Wales Valleys, so you'll find a mix of wooded river corridors, hills and the remnants of former industrial infrastructure around it.
Like many communities in the area, Rhos has been shaped by the 19th- and 20th-century coal and iron economy, which left a legacy in housing patterns, chapels and community institutions. Today it is largely residential, with residents commonly commuting to nearby towns such as Neath or Swansea, and local life tends to centre on community activities and outdoor recreation made possible by the surrounding countryside.
