Gilfach is the small district that lies between Bargoed and Pengam in the principal area of Caerphilly (county borough). The name Gilfach is derived from the Welsh words cil (nook) and bach (small). Gilfach is located about 7 miles north of the main town of Caerphilly.

As with many villages and towns through Wales, Gilfach has a War Memorial situated in the Garden of Peace.
