Hengoed
Hengoed is a town on the west side of the Rhymney Valley - in between Ystrad Mynach to the south and Cefn Hengoed to the north. Across the valley it looks towards Maesycwmmer. The town is in the county borough of Caerphilly, in the standard county of Glamorgan, Wales. The name literally suggests 'old timber' in the Welsh language. The selecting ward of Hengoed includes the towns of Hengoed and Cefn Hengoed and 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 a number of new-build housing developments in the ward between 2001 and also 2011.
