Historically its main industry was based around the iron-works on the south side of the valley which have long since closed.

The community's only school (Clydach Country Primary School) closed its gates for the final time in July 2006 after a contraversial decision by [[Monmouthshire County Council]] to shut it down, despite the protests of local residents. The reasons for the school's closure appear to have been primarily financial with the Council seeing the school as having too few pupils to justify funding. Local residents claimed however that the closure would force the children affected to travel significant distances in order to attend new schools in the area.

The area around the village is a haven for walkers and hikers with many routes tracing the beauty of the nearby Clydach Gorge.
