Senghenydd (Welsh: Senghennydd, IPA: [sɛŋˈhɛnɪð]) is a former mining village in the community of Aber Valley in South Wales, approximately four miles northwest of the town of Caerphilly. Historically within the county of Glamorgan, it is now situated in the county borough of Caerphilly. In the United Kingdom Census 2001, the population of the Aber Valley (which also includes the neighbouring village of Abertridwr) was 6,696.[1] The wind farm proposed in 2023 would see the village surrounded by turbines up to 200 metres high.
