Treherbert sits at the head of the Rhondda Valley in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales. Nestled beneath steep wooded ridges and upland moor, the village occupies the upper reaches of the River Rhondda and is the terminus of the Rhondda Line, giving a scenic, well connected gateway to the surrounding hills.

Historically a coal‑mining community, Treherbert still shows that industrial past in its buildings, chapels and community memory, with the nearby Pentre-based Rhondda Heritage Park interpreting the valley’s story. Today it combines local regeneration, a strong rugby and community culture and easy access to hill walks and moorland, so it’s as much valued for its resilient local identity and views as for its industrial history.
