The valley is situated where the three County Boroughs of Caerphilly, Rhondda Cynon Taff, and Merthyr Tydfil meet.
Originally a collection of farms, from the early 1800s the valley was industrialised through coal mining, developing a rich Industrial heritage.
Passenger services ended in 1964, but the line remained open for coal trains, later serving the Ffos-y-fran Land Reclamation Scheme.
[2][3] Parc Taf Bargoed is a regenerated area of parkland in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough and is a Green Flag Park.
The building also provides space for community meetings and events and walking, cycling and horse riding is encouraged in the park.
