Abercynon is a small village in the Cynon Valley in Mid Glamorgan, Wales. The unitary authority is now known as Rhondda Cynon Taff. It is composed of the village of Abercynon itself,Carnetown,Glancynon,Park View and Pontcynon. However, in recent years the sign to show motorists they are entering Abercynon has been moved south of Pontcynon thus making the area known as Abercynon smaller. Ynysboeth and Matthewstown are part of the political ward as was Ynysybwl many years ago. However, these areas are not part of Abercynon, but are villages in their own right. They are much closer to Penrhiwceiber than Abercynon. Abercynon is approximately sixteen miles north of Cardiff and approximately twenty-five miles from Swansea. The rivers Taff and Cynon converge at Watersmeet near Martin's Terrace. Abercynon used to have many churches, chapels and pubs. There are now only four public houses left - The Thorn Hotel, The Royal Oak, The Navigation Hotel and the Carne Park Hotel. The only churches still left are St. Donat's Church in Wales, its daughter church, St. Gwynno's, St. Thomas' Roman Catholic Church and the Methodist church in Martin's Lane.
