Pontyclun
Pontyclun is a village and community situated in the Region District of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Like the bordering communities, it has seen a sharp boost in its population in the last ten years as people move southern from the South Wales Valleys, and also west from the funding 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 goes across the Afon Clun just above its assemblage with the Ely. The village is served by Pontyclun train terminal on the South Wales Main Line. It has its own neighborhood rugby club. The village falls under the remit of Pontyclun Area Council, which represents the neighborhoods of Brynsadler, Castell y Mwnws, Groes-faen, Miskin, Mwyndy, Pontyclun, Talygarn, as well as Ynysddu.
