Crynant

Crynant (or Welsh: Y Creunant) is a village in the Dulais Valley in South Wales. It lies 7¾ miles north-east from the town of Neath in Neath Port Talbot, lying between the mountains of Mynydd Marchywel to the west, Hirfynydd to the east and Mynydd y Drum to the north.

Crynant is a long village, lying on the narrow valley floor and lower slopes of Hirfynydd. Originally there were separate villages (essentially separate farms), such as the region of Treforgan, but all have now merged into a single village. The River Dulais flows through the village.

Creunant is also the name of an electoral ward and a community, coterminous with the village, in Neath Port Talbot County Borough.
