Central location for access to Hill walks like Aberfare Circular w heath/peatlands, Dare Parkland stretching all the way past Swansea, direct train to Cardiff and Barry Isl., halfway between Gowar Pen. & Brecon Beacons. Valley bottoms are however completely built up w hilltops deforested (timber held up coal mine adits of yore) that are economically depressed. Kind folk and heard more Welsh in one pub evening the entire hols in Conwy, N Wales a decade ago!
