Now that the last mines
have closed the hills are reverting to their
earlier green state and the story of King Coal
is the subject of nostalgia. One place that
should be visited is the Rhondda Heritage Park
which contrasts sharply with another local
attraction, the fairytale castle of Castell
Coch, a romantic ‘folly’ designed by the
wealthy 3rd Marquess of Bute in the late 19th
century. |
