Setting
Situated among the South Wales Valleys, Abertysswg is a small village located to the east of Pontlottyn and south-east of Rhymney. The nearest major town is Merthyr Tydfil. The Rhymney River lies just west of the village.
Village Commerce & Industry
The village is within the South Wales Coalfield and used to have a pit at the end of Westville Road, although the mine closed in 1969. Most of the village's industry is now small scale retail. Abertysswg has a village shop, Post Office, takeaway and several pubs & clubs.
Year 2000 Renovation
The village has had some renovation work completed on it in the new millennium, to make it a closer and more friendlier community again. A new park/recreation area has been built, and a brand new community centre stands proud at the top of the village.
