Cwm Clydach RSPB nature reserve is located at the South of the village, near the New Inn Public House, at the boundary between Craig Cefn Parc and Clydach. The village has a Post Office & village store, Rock & Fountain Inn pub & a village hall. CCP also has an English medium primary school. Currently plans for a village park are going into action to provide a safe area for children of the village to have fun and play in.
