Aberdare

Owing its prosperity to the many coalmines that once surrounded it, this close-knit town near Merthyr Tydfil offers stunning views towards the Brecon Beacons. Allun Lewis, the Second World War poet who died fighting in Burma, was born here.

Like many South Wales mining towns, Aberdare has a long-standing association with male voice choirs. In the centre of the town is a statue of Griffith Rhys Jones, conductor of the award-winning South Wales Choral Union in the late 19th century.

Here we try to offer a wide selection from budget to luxury hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfast, B&B accommodation suitable for holidays, vacations or business travellers in Aberdare or surrounding areas.
