Aberdare Park

In April 1948, 33-year old Polish national Jerzy Strzadala was murdered in Aberdare Park in a case that is still unsolved.

[3] This is one of only four anti-clockwise motor racing layouts in the UK; the others are Oliver's Mount, Blyton Raceway and Rockingham Speedway.

[citation needed] The annual Aberdare Park National Road Races are now held on the circuit.

Visitors to the park are greeted by the prominent sculpture of Sir William T. Lewis (Lord Merthyr).

The park contains a mixture of native and exotic trees, most of which date back to the Victorian era.
