Nelson is a village and community in the County Borough of Caerphilly, Wales. It sits five miles north of Caerphilly and ten miles north of Cardiff, at the lower end of the Taff Bargoed Valley, and lies adjacent to Treharris, Trelewis and Quakers Yard.
The area that became Nelson was called Ffos-y-Gerddinen and this remains the name of the village in Welsh. The meaning of this name is often given as ditch/moat of the Rowan Trees but Thomas Morgan translated it as "Mountain Ash Bog".
