About Cymmer

Cymmer is a village and community nestled in the scenic Rhondda Valley of Wales, situated at the confluence of the Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach river valleys. Historically significant for its coal mining industry, several collieries were established in the mid-19th century, although the area was marked by tragedy following a disastrous mine accident in 1856 that claimed 114 lives and left the community grappling with unresolved grievances. This rich industrial heritage may influence current planning applications as the village evolves.
