Nantyglo sits at the head of the Ebbw Fach valley, tucked between Blaina and Brynmawr at an elevation that often sees it caught in the clouds when the rest of the valley is clear. Its identity is inseparable from the industrial revolution; once home to the massive Nantyglo Ironworks, the landscape is still defined by the "Round Towers," fortified farms built by the ironmasters to protect themselves from their own disgruntled workforce. Today, life is quieter and revolves around a mix of traditional terrace housing and newer developments that climb the valley sides. It’s a practical spot for those who need access to the Heads of the Valleys road, and the nearby railway terminus at Ebbw Vale provides a direct link down to Cardiff. While the heavy industry is long gone, the rugged moorland of Mynydd Carn-y-Cefn is right on the doorstep, offering some of the best high-ground walking in Blaenau Gwent with views that stretch right across the Bristol Channel on a sharp day.
