Electoral ward

The electoral ward of Godre'r Graig forms part of the parish of Ystalyfera. It includes some or all of the settlements of Godre'r Graig, Cilmaengwyn and Pantyfynnon in the parliamentary constituency of Neath. The ward consists of a settled belt beside the A4067 road and the River Tawe in the Swansea Valley stretching from the south to the north east.
