Visited Taff Valley on a stag do, we did clay pigeon shooting with a great instructor and then quad biking, the scenery is stunning and it is by far the best location I've ridden a quad we went on a great trail with very good guides. All in a great experience. Thank you.

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.

Great concerts, films and functions. The Park & Dare has been putting on spectacular plays, concerts and shows for decades. The main venue in Treorchy.

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.

Country Park - Accommodation - Camping - Caravan Park - Cafe, All set in 500 acres of beautiful Welsh Countryside Dare Valley has plenty to offer. From walks to outdoor activities to overnight breaks to sumptuous home made food. Come see for yourself.
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.

Lido Play which is situated right next to the Lido Ponty is an adventure play area providing all the fun needed for children of all ages
We took our grandchildren to the Lido. The weather did not distract from a great day out. It was dull and rain forecast but it did not matter as you ignore welsh weather! We had a fabulous time. All the lifeguards were very professional. It was spotlessly clean. Changing rooms were fabulous. Safety is paramount in all three pools. Certainly a great venue. There’s a well equipped park , toilet facilities and picnic areas. Very reasonable, especially to go on the floats. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Can’t wait to go back next summer. Only problem was finding parking due to a lot of construction work going on in the heart of the town. Otherwise a great day out.
