Galon Uchaf

Galon Uchaf perches above Merthyr Tydfil in the Heads of the Valleys, where the Brecon Beacons begin their rise from the industrial valleys below. The A470 provides the main route from Cardiff, whilst the A465 offers east-west connections across South Wales. The settlement commands excellent views across the Taff Valley and sits beside the atmospheric ruins of 13th-century Morlais Castle.
