What Do The Valleys Mean to Us?

First there are the people - friendly with fascinating stories of lives which forged the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of modern society.

Then a rich and varied heritage - mines and ironworks, castles and terraced houses, manor houses and ancient Bronze Age sites. There are Blue Badge and Green Badge Guides to interpret the history and heritage.

Great Activities - cycling and walking the Taff Trail, great golf courses with fabulous views and the Wales Valleys Walking Festival.

There is also an abundance of sumptuous fresh local produce - chocolate, cheese and whisky, delicious Welsh lamb and great shopping in busy towns and markets.

This is the Land of Song - home to Tom Jones, the Stereophonics, LostProphets, Male Voice Choirs, Opera Stars and where the Welsh National Anthem, Cwm Rhondda and Myfanwy were written.

Now there's diversity.

Come and join us to experience what the Valleys could mean to you.

We’re well known for keeping a great welcome!
