Rhondda

The Rhondda is a historic valley in South Wales, known for its rich coal mining heritage. It consists of two main valleys, Rhondda Fach (Little Rhondda) and Rhondda Fawr (Big Rhondda), which were central to Wales' industrial growth during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The area experienced rapid population growth due to mining, shaping its community and culture. Today, Rhondda is recognized for its scenic landscapes and resurgence in tourism and community activities, preserving its industrial legacy while adapting to modern economic realities.
