Swffryd or Sofrydd is a village on the eastern side of the Ebbw valley in western Monmouthshire. It is adjacent to Crumlin, north-east of the junction of the A467 and A472 roads.
Most of the site was built as local-authority housing to house the mining population. Lewis Street, Rectory Road and other parts in the west of the village have older houses and buildings. Remains of the Crumlin Viaduct can still be seen and can be seen in full view from neighbouring Crumlin just off Lewis Street at the top of the embankment.
