This guide introduces you to the Rhondda Valleys of today. Much ground has been covered since the mining days of old. Nowadays we go in for country parks and forest walks, waterfalls and wildlife. The arts and music scene is buzzing with talent and excitement and of course there is heritage. The valleys are green again after the Industrial Revolution but there's something from those past times that remains - the warmth and strong sense of community. Read our guide and experience the 'hwyl' of the Rhondda.
