[citation needed] The eastern end of Beaufort is more densely populated than Carmeltown or the border areas of Rassau or Brynmawr.

[citation needed] The village also has a theatre with a ball room where many famous people played at the start of their careers.

[7] This was further divided in 2010 to create three communities: Beaufort (including the village and the area to the north), Badminton (to the south), and Rassau (to the west).

[8] Parc Nant y Waun is a nature reserve incorporating 22 hectares of grassland, mires and reservoirs which was officially opened in 2007.

[10] Carmel Chapel is a Grade II listed building[11][12][13][14][15] The Beaufort Male Choir originally formed in 1897, are still going strong today with over sixty singers from all over Gwent.

In 1833, by which time there were four furnaces, the works were taken over as an extension of their Nantyglo operations by the Bailey brothers, Joseph and Crawshay who put their sister's son, William Partridge (1800–1862), in charge.

The inn was at the end of the toll road from Merthyr Tydfil and for the rest of the year provided the drovers’ animals very good pasture and water in the Ebbw river.

Suffolk-born Partridge married Charlotte Bevan, daughter of the Rhyd-y-Blew's innkeeper, and remained in charge of the Beaufort iron works until his early death in 1862.

[citation needed] The ground, just south of Beaufort Hill, and close to a Chapel of Rest in the area known as Glanyafon, once occupied by the iron works has long been cleared and covered with houses.
