NEATH
Set within
splendid countryside, Neath is a former copper
town built around a now-ruined 13th century
castle that was sacked in the 14th century by
Llewelynn the Great. The Romans got here
first, though, and built a fort in about 70
AD, calling it Nidum. The remains of 12th
century Neath Abbey can be seen on the
outskirts of present-day Neath. At nearby
Resolves is the 80ft waterfall of Melin Court.
