Our school is situated on a hillside on the northern side of the village of Cwmbach within an established private housing estate. The village of Cwmbach lies approximately 2 miles south of the busy town of Aberdare, known locally as: 'The Queen of the Valleys'/ 'Brenhines y Cymoedd'. Cwmbach is in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff.

We are a local walking group of the Ramblers Association. Although based in the Cynon Valley, our group members are also drawn from many of the towns and villages of the surrounding valleys. Our location, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, allows us easy access to fantastic walking opportunities. While the Black Mountains, the Usk and Wye Valleys and the Gower are all within easy travelling distance.
