Aberdare grew into an active industrial town in the 19th century, when it became a centre of iron and tin production. Later there were a lot of coal mines in the town which increased its population as people moved there to work. Now that the coal mines have closed, the landscape has remnants of its past but nature has returned it to its former beauty.
The town goes back far into history, with ancient burial sites and standing stones still visible today. There is a lot of Victorian architecture still around in Aberdare that links with its interesting past.
Aberdare is a busy town with plenty of shops and restaurants. It is only a 40 minute train drive from Cardiff, so it's easy to appreciate the countryside around Aberdale and then jump on the train to take advantage of what the city has on offer.
