Aberdare evolved 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 expanded its population as people moved there to work. Now that the coal mines have shut, the landscape has remnants of its past but nature has renewed 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 standing in Aberdare that links with its interesting past.
Aberdare is a lively town with copious amounts of shops and restaurants. It is only a 40 minute train ride from Cardiff, so it's easy to revel in the countryside around Aberdale and then hop on the train to take advantage of what the city has to offer.
