About Bedwellty

Bedwellty is a quaint village situated in Caerphilly County Borough, South Wales, perched on a ridge between the Rhymney and Sirhowy valleys. Known for its historic St Sannan's parish church, which dates back to 1624, Bedwellty reflects its roots as an ancient parish previously part of Monmouthshire. The village has seen growth and administrative changes, particularly with the rise of nearby iron industry towns like Rhymney and Tredegar, leading to the establishment of a local government district in 1891. This historical context is essential for understanding current planning applications and development opportunities in the area.
