About Us
Merthyr Tydfil, one of the most historically fascinating and beautiful regions of Wales is ideally placed between Brecon Beacons National Park and Cardiff the Welsh capital.
Location
Merthyr Tydfil is midway between the capital city of Cardiff and the breathtaking Brecon Beacons, and the transport network is impressive.The town is ideally situated at the crossroads of Wales's major transport roads - the A470 South to North Wales trunk road and the A465, the main artery that links Swansea to the Midlands. Merthyr Tydfil is a perfect base for exploring the South Wales valleys, Brecon Beacons National Park, Cardiff, Swansea and the beautiful Gower peninsular. Furthermore, the town is less than two hours from Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Hereford and Swindon.
History
In 1750 Merthyr Tydfil was a quiet village surrounded by green fields. Most of the forty or so families who lived in the village worked on the land. However, this situation was to change when it became known that coke could be used for smelting iron. Merthyr Tydfil, with its large supplies of both iron ore and coal, was an attractive site for the ironmasters. The first ironworks was opened in 1759. Others followed and by 1784 there were four large ironworks (Penydarren, Dowlais, Plymouth, Cyfarthfa) within a two mile radius of the original village. By 1801 over 8,000 people were living in Merthyr Tydfil making it the largest town in Wales.
