Pontyclun
Pontyclun is a village and area located in the Area District of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Like the surrounding towns, it has actually seen a sharp rise in its population in the last 10 years as people migrate south southern Wales Valleys, as well as west from the capital city of Cardiff. Pontyclun translates from the Welsh language as 'bridge the River Clun', the Clun being a tributary of the River Ely that goes through Pontyclun. A bridge crosses the Afon Clun simply over its confluence with the Ely. The village is served by Pontyclun railway terminal on the South Wales Main Line. It has its own regional rugby club. The town drops under the remit of Pontyclun Community Council, which represents the neighborhoods of Brynsadler, Castell y Mwnws, Groes-faen, Miskin, Mwyndy, Pontyclun, Talygarn, and Ynysddu.
