Cymer is an electoral ward in the south Wales Valleys within the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, set in the distinctive steep-sided landscape of the Rhondda Valleys. It occupies a compact stretch of valley with rows of traditional terraced housing, pockets of woodland on the slopes and the river running through the valley floor, giving it a very typical South Wales Valleys feel.
The ward has a strong coal-mining heritage dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and like many former mining communities it has experienced post-industrial change, local regeneration efforts and a resilient community spirit. Local life centres on community halls, chapels and amateur sport, with small shops and services serving residents while many commute to larger towns or to Cardiff for work.
