Vale of Neath

The Vale of Neath (or Neath Valley, Welsh: Cwm Nedd), one of the South Wales Valleys, encompasses the upper reaches of the River Neath in southwest Wales.

Settlements in the valley include Neath, Cadoxton, Tonna, Aberdulais, Resolven, Blaengwrach, Glynneath and Pontneddfechan.

[1] "Waterfall Country" is a nickname given to the Vale of Neath due to the diverse number of waterfalls in the valley.

In the lower valley, waterfalls can be found at Melincourt and Aberdulais.

Currently partly used as a goods line the Vale of Neath Railway once served the area for passenger trains.
