Pentwyn Deintyr
Pentwyn Deintyr is a hill-top hamlet in the community of Bedlinog and Trelewis, Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, south-east Wales. Ordnance Survey mapping places the centre on grid reference ST 096 962 at about 140 m above sea level, straddling the minor ridge road between Quakers Yard and Nelson. The settlement stands 900 m north of the county boundary with Caerphilly County Borough and 1.2 km east of the Taff Bargoed river; the A470 trunk road runs on the opposite valley side, giving Pentwyn Deintyr a direct road link to Merthyr Tydfil (8 km north-west) and Cardiff (28 km south-east).
