Aberaman South is a community on the lower slopes of the hills in Rhondda Cynon Taf, in the heart of the Cynon Valley of Wales, close to the town of Aberdare and the course of the River Cynon. The landscape is typical of the South Wales Valleys, with terraced streets spilling down from former mining ridgelines and green hillland providing a clear sense of place and local walking opportunities.
Historically the area expanded rapidly in the 19th century with coal and iron working, and that industrial past still shapes the built environment and community identity today. Like many former pit communities it has a strong sense of local solidarity, with churches, rugby and brass-band traditions, while recent years have seen efforts at regeneration, small-scale enterprise and community projects to diversify the local economy and preserve the social heritage.
