If you’re looking for fantastic views of the Brecon Beacons without actually exploring them then hop on escorted tours to Aberdare. This beautiful quaint town is located in the South Wales Valleys, near to Merthyr Tydfil, and owes its prosperity to the coalmines that once surrounded it. Everywhere you look you’ll see stunning scenery so stick your walking boots on and join coach trips to explore some more.
A lot of history surrounds this area of Wales because the famous Second World War poet, Alun Lewis who wrote 'All Day It Has Rained', was born in Cwmaman near Aberdare but sadly he died fighting in Burma. Take coach tours to the centre of town where you can also see the statue of Griffith Rhys Jones who was the conductor of the award-winning South Wales Choral Union during the late 19th Century.
Whilst in Aberdare on coach holidays, take the family to visit the Penderyn Farmers Market that is held outdoors on the last Sunday of every month – a perfect opportunity to sample the local produce and find gifts for the family. If you fancy absorbing yourself in some history then join coach breaks to look at records dating back to the 18th Century on visits to St John The Baptist Church – built in the latter part of 12th Century and used as a Chapel Of Ease for monks from Margam Abbey.
