Merthyr Tydfil was once the iron capital of the world and the largest town in Wales, with ironworks that powered the Industrial Revolution. Today the town is reinventing itself with the Cyfarthfa Castle heritage centre, the Brecon Beacons on its doorstep, and improving connectivity to Cardiff via the A470 dualling. BikePark Wales has established the area as a world-class mountain biking destination.
