About Gurnos

Gurnos sits in and around Merthyr Tydfil 9PU, in Cardiff.

Postcode area: CF47. Members join from every street in Gurnos — you never need to travel, because every natter happens by phone.

Neighbouring areas we also cover: Incline Top, Mountain Hare, Morgan Town, Thomas Town, Penyard.

Senior adults nearby — Built on Community

Merthyr Tydfil is one of the smallest and most deprived local authorities in Wales, with a population of around 58,800 that has barely changed in a decade -- yet it has one of the highest proportions of under-15s in Wales at 18%, giving it a notably bimodal age structure of both young and old.

Figures are rounded estimates for the wider area around Gurnos, based on published population estimates rather than a count of Natter Network members.
