Explore The Rhondda

Known for

The Welsh choral tradition (the Rhondda male voice choirs are world-famous), the Rhondda Heritage Park, and the most celebrated of the South Wales coal mining valleys

A little history

The Rhondda Valley was the most intensively mined of the South Wales coalfield valleys — at its peak producing a quarter of the world's coal. The Rhondda Heritage Park at Lewis Merthyr Colliery tells the story brilliantly. The male voice choir tradition grew from the chapels of the valley communities.

📍 Local tip

The Rhondda Heritage Park is genuinely excellent — the underground mine experience is extraordinary. The male voice choir performances when available. The valley hillsides walking. The Pontypridd gateway town.
