The track was situated north of the Bedwellty Road and east of Aberbargoed. The track was larger than the hamlet of Bedwellty itself and sat at a high altitude in Gwent not far from the Brecon Beacons.{{cite web|url=https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/316601/200539/10/101324|title=OS Plan 1960-1965|publisher=old-maps.co.uk}} The track was behind the Church Inn.{{cite web|url=https://www.gwynfor.com/the_church_inn.html|title=The Church Inn Bedwellty|publisher=Gwynfor Roberts Welsh Paintings|access-date=28 January 2022}}

Racing began in 1929 on Monday and Friday evenings, the track was independent (unaffiliated to a governing body) and race distances were over 300, 510 and 700 yards with the circuit being described as suiting early paced well balanced dogs. There was car parking for 150 vehicles and on course bookmakers.

In 1995, Noel Watkins bought the track but leased it to bookmakers Alan Davies and Trevor Jones in 1998.{{cite news |author= |issue=4 |volume=16 |date=4 April 1998 |title=Noel's Gur Reaction To Keep Going |publisher=Greyhound Star}}
