Holy Trinity Church no longer exists, but the cemetery is located in Ystalyfera, near Panteg, and is accessible either by coming via the high road through the village, or coming off the by-pass (A 4067) up towards Panteg.
NOTE - As of January 2013, the site is ONLY accessible by coming directly off the A4067 between Ystalyfera and Godrergraig, as due to a landslip the road through Panteg is closed.

Holy Trinity also holds the family graves for parents and/or siblings of some of the Ystalyfera war dead. These include the family grave of John Sidney Edwards, which includes a memorial inscription to him, and for Charles Ambridge, the brother of Benjamin Ambridge.
