Rhymney Valley

Between 1974 and 1996 a Rhymney Valley local government district also existed (one of six of Mid Glamorgan).

[1] The valley encompasses the villages of Abertysswg, Fochriw, Hengoed, Pontlottyn, Tir-Phil, New Tredegar, Nelson, Rhymney, and Llanbradach, and the towns of Bargoed, Caerphilly, Ystrad Mynach and Aberbargoed.

Created as a glacial valley, now the Rhymney River flows largely south to Rumney, a district of Cardiff.

As the fairies burnt the giant's body, the ground burned away, exposing the coal.
