CwmtwrchCwmtwrch is a village in South Wales, in the Swansea Valley (15 miles north of Swansea). It has been split into two parts, Upper Cwmtwrch and Lower Cwmtwrch, something that has made Cwmtwrch a joke in Wales considering it's small size. Nearby villages are Ystradowen, Rhiwfawr, Ystradgynlais and Ystalyfera. One of the most notable features of Cwmtwrch is the 'ffynon' which is a natural spring, appearing at a memorial. The water is highly sulphuric and smells of rotten eggs, but it is claimed by the locals that it has healing properties and people from as far as Argentina have been to collect water from there for drinking. Cwmtwrch has a school, a public hall and a few chapels, pubs and shops.
