Hengoed
Hengoed is a village on the west side of the Rhymney Valley - in between Ystrad Mynach to the south and Cefn Hengoed to the north. Throughout the valley it looks in the direction of Maesycwmmer. The village is in the county district of Caerphilly, in the traditional county of Glamorgan, Wales. The name essentially suggests 'old wood' in the Welsh language. The selecting 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 2011.
