Hengoed
Hengoed is a town on the west side of the Rhymney Valley - between Ystrad Mynach to the south and Cefn Hengoed to the north. Across the valley it looks towards Maesycwmmer. The village remains in the county district of Caerphilly, in the typical region of Glamorgan, Wales. The name literally implies 'old wood' in the Welsh language. The electoral ward of Hengoed includes the towns of Hengoed and also Cefn Hengoed and also a part of Tir-y-Berth in the north west. The ward population was recorded at 5,548 in the 2011 census, a rise of 10% over the previous 10 years (2001 = 5,046), due partially to several new-build housing developments in the ward in between 2001 and also 2011.
