Hengoed (pronounced hen-goyd) is a village on the west side of the Rhymney Valley - overlooking Ystrad Mynach across to Maesycwmmer. The village is in the county borough of Caerphilly, in the traditional county of Glamorgan, Wales. The name literally means 'old wood' in the Welsh language.[1]
Hengoed has a primary school, community centre, a newsagent, a post office and a public house - The Junction. There is also a linear park, along the old railway line which connected Penallta colliery with Hengoed viaduct and beyond.
Hengoed railway station is part of the Valley Lines network.
Work for us - We are looking for enterprising, community-minded people with time and a digital camera to help populate our local websites.
We are currently working on the Hengoed profile and would be pleased to receive contributions from anyone who knows it well.
