Pontyclun
Pontyclun is a village as well as community situated in the Area District of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Like the surrounding communities, it has seen a sharp boost in its population in the last ten years as individuals migrate southern from the South Wales Valleys, as well as west from the funding city of Cardiff. Pontyclun converts from the Welsh language as 'bridge the River Clun', the Clun being a tributary of the River Ely that goes through Pontyclun. A bridge goes across the Afon Clun simply over its convergence with the Ely. The town is served by Pontyclun railway terminal on the South Wales Main Line. It has its very own regional rugby club. The town falls under the remit of Pontyclun Community Council, which represents the communities of Brynsadler, Castell y Mwnws, Groes-faen, Miskin, Mwyndy, Pontyclun, Talygarn, and Ynysddu.
