Pontlliw is a small village on the northern edge of Swansea in Wales, taking its name from the bridge over the Afon Lliw that runs through the settlement. It sits where rural lanes meet easy motorway access, so many residents commute into the city while enjoying the rolling farmland and wooded bits of the surrounding Lliw Valley.
The village has a lively local community feel, with a village hall, clubs and a rugby side that help bind people together, and a mix of small shops and housing rather than heavy industry. Adjoining the modern community at Tircoed, Pontlliw is popular with walkers and families who appreciate its quiet, semi-rural character combined with convenient links to larger towns and services.
