Are you looking for a new home in Caerphilly?
Wales is well-known for its castles and Caerphilly has the largest! It’s in good company, sitting just above the metropolitan city of Cardiff, the largest city in Wales. Choosing a new home in this county puts you in a great place for city commuting and for the countryside.
Caerphilly stretches from the Brecon Beacons National Park in the north to the outskirts of Cardiff in the south. It includes part of the South Wales Valleys and overlaps with Mid-Glamorgan and Gwent.
There is a firmly grounded industrial history here, side by side with the rugged open space of the mountains where you can get right off the beaten track. The mining towns that used to be, still have a real community spirit and are very much a part of the landscape.
Blackwood is halfway between Newport and Merthyr Tydfil in South East Wales. It’s a popular location for a new home because it’s as easy to get to the South Wales M4 corridor for access to Newport, Cardiff and Swansea as it is to the Brecon Beacons National Park for a very different kind of day.
This is a growing community that’s surrounded by farmland and where the main roads are defined by the valleys and hills. In true Welsh tradition, Blackwood has two Rugby Union sides and one Rugby League side, so if you enjoy sport this is a great place to call home.
Living in South East Wales put you in a good position for exploring all that rural Wales has to offer, for making the most of city life in Cardiff, and for heading into England for a change of scenery. It’s an excellent combination of options for work and pleasure.
