The Merthyr Tydfil hotels listed below are
either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far
they are from Merthyr Tydfil. We hope you enjoy your stay and
find your ideal accommodation.
Merthyr Tydfil sits at the top of
the Taff Valley in the traditional county of Glamorgan, with
Cardiff and Swansea both 30 minutes away. At its height in the
18th and 19th centuries, Merthyr Tydfil was the largest iron-producing
town in the world. In 1987, the iron foundry, all that remained
of the former Dowlais iron works, closed, marking the end of
228 years continuous production on one site. A Roman fort once
stood proudly on what is now Merthyr Football Club's ground.
Merthyr Tydfil F.C. or 'The Martyrs' play in the Southern Football
League. The beautiful and dramatic countryside around Merthyr
Tydfil is the perfect setting for a wide range of activities
and attractions. The Taff Trail, which links the capital city
of Cardiff to the historic market town of Brecon, passes through
some of the Taff valley's most spectacular countryside. Also
