Rhymney sits at the head of the valley that bears its name, tucked high in the South Wales coalfield just a short hop west of Tredegar over the mountain road. It’s a place shaped by the iron and coal of the nineteenth century - most notably through the Rhymney Ironworks, which left behind the impressive Great Terrace and the Neo-Classical design of St. David’s Church. Geographically, the town is defined by its steep sides and spectacular views across the moorland towards the Brecon Beacons, which are easily accessible just a few miles to the north. Today, the town is practical for commuters, being the terminus of the direct rail line to Cardiff, a journey that takes about an hour. Unlike some of the lower valley towns, Rhymney feels a bit more rugged and open to the elements, with a tight-knit community layout centered around the High Street and easy links to the A465 Heads of the Valleys road.
