Draethen, Waterloo and Rudry

Draethen, Waterloo and Rudry is a community in the south-west of Caerphilly County Borough, Wales. It comprises the villages of Draethen, Waterloo and Rudry.[1]

The area had originally been 3 separate parishes - Rudry, Rhyd-y-Gwern, and Llanfedw. The parishes later merged, known as Rudry, and in 1974 it became a community. In 2010 it changed to its current name to better reflect the area it covers.[2]
