Aberdare is an industrial town 4 miles south-west of Merthyr Tydfil and 24 miles north-west of Cardiff. 200 years ago it was a small village but the population grew rapidly to service the coal mining and iron ore industries. During the latter half of the 19th century considerable improvements were made to the town, including the construction of a post-graduate theological college and numerous churches and chapels. Today, Aberdare is a mixture of its industrial heritage and a town that is vibrant and contemporary, surrounded by wooded hills and fields, streams and rivers, and the tranquil beauty of Aberdare Country Park.
