3. Aberdare Park

I’ve only visited Aberdare park during the autumn, so I’m yet to see it in full bloom during the spring and summer months. Despite this it’s still beautiful even during the autumn, and still worth a visit, no matter what time of the year. One of the main things I loved about this place was all the wildlife around, squirrels, geese... It’s a peaceful place, though I have no idea if it’s the same during the warmer months! I’m definitely looking forward to visiting again soon. Recommended to all who may be in or visiting the area.

5. Ynysangharad Park

Reviewed By lenvalentine - Pontypridd, United Kingdom
This park is one of the jewels of Pontypridd, a large green area accompanied by sunken gardens, well-maintained flower beds, and a little uns’ play area. Lido Ponty is at the centre of the park - book your space quickly once it reopens as it’s constantly busy! Some history in the park with the monument for Evan James and James James (who were responsible for creating the national anthem of Wales) and the war memorial. All around well-maintained green space and a nice place to sit by the River Taff. It's a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

I’ve been meaning to see Dare Valley Park for a while after seeing it signposted on the A465, so yesterday I finally made the time for a visit. It has beautiful wooded scenery and is much bigger than I previously thought, we spent a good 2 hours walking around and seeing all the wildlife. There were dozens of squirrels around and the place was full of birdsong. There are a few waterfalls (more than I expected!) and it’s also not too far from Aberdare town centre, within walking distance in fact. The only downside was the cafe wasn’t open due to covid, so I plan on visiting again post pandemic as my sister and her partner both say the cafe is very much worth a stop. Overall it’s a wonderful place for walks and for being close to nature, I’ll definitely be visiting again in the future.

Had a fantastic meal in tonight at the Otley. The pub looks fantastic and the food was amazing. Lovely menu and a little bit different. Very nice and friendly atmosphere and felt safe with all the government regulations being followed. Friendly staff and excellent service. Can't say enough good things about this place. Will be heading back in two weeks time to try something else on the menu. Also lovely beer garden with patio heaters at the back. Keep up the good work. Excellent.
