The map
Gelligaer lies in the county borough of Caerphilly in South Wales, on high ground between the valleys of the Rhymney and the Taff Bargoed. The site has been occupied for a long time: the remains of a Roman fort lie close to the village, and the old parish church of St Catwg stands near the centre.
On a map, the community reflects the terrain of the valleys. The older village sits on the ridge, while roads descend steeply toward the valley floors, where later settlements grew around coal mining and industry. The street pattern follows contours, creating long terraces and winding routes rather than a regular grid.
A Gelligaer map poster shows how a hilltop settlement relates to the valleys around it. The ridge-top roads, the terraced streets and the open upland between them form a composition that is unmistakably Welsh, shaped by landscape and by centuries of changing use.
The historic centre sits on high ground, with the church near its heart, forming a small cluster of streets above the valleys.
Remains of a Roman fort lie close to the village, a reminder of the site's long history, now largely beneath fields.
Terraced streets follow the contours of the hillsides toward the valley floors, creating long, parallel lines typical of South Wales.
