Rhigos
Sign in to saveRhigos () is a village and community in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. The village is located on the saddle of higher ground between the Vale of Neath and the Cynon Valley. It was part of Neath Rural District, in the county of Glamorgan, until 1974. The village then came under the jurisdiction of Cynon Valley Borough, which subsequently became Rhondda Cynon Taf in 1996. It lies just off the Aberdare road that was the main link between Aberdare and Glynneath, before the A465 road was extended in the 1960s. The hamlets of Cefn Rhigos and Cwm-Hwnt lie to the west of the main village.
