With a population of nearly 11,000, Blaenhonddan has five primary schools in the villages of Cilfrew, Cadoxton, Waunceirch and Bryncoch, and is also served by Dwr y Felin and Llangatwg Comprehensive Schools. Welsh medium education is provided at Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Castell Nedd and at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera. As well as being an attractive rural area with many public footpaths, Blaenhonddan has a
rich past, with evidence of its industrial, religious, social and settlement history still to be found. There are plentiful opportunities to enjoy this history and some splendid views as you walk around the area. The Community Council has been an important part of the life of this community since 1894 and its records, retained at the West Glamorgan Archive Service in the Civic Centre Swansea, provide a useful source of reference to the past. This website provides a new source of information for the present and a valuable resource for the future.
