Hengoed
Hengoed is a village on the west side of the Rhymney Valley - between Ystrad Mynach to the south as well as Cefn Hengoed to the north. Throughout the valley it looks in the direction of Maesycwmmer. The village remains in the area borough of Caerphilly, in the conventional region of Glamorgan, Wales. The name literally suggests 'old timber' in the Welsh language. The electoral ward of Hengoed includes the towns of Hengoed and Cefn Hengoed as well as a part of Tir-y-Berth in the north west. The ward population was recorded at 5,548 in the 2011 census, a boost of 10% over the previous ten years (2001 = 5,046), due partly to several new-build housing developments in the ward between 2001 as well as 2011.
