Pontypool

Pontypool is a moderately sized town within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire in South Wales. It is prettily situated along the banks of the Afon Llwyd river in the county borough of Torfaen. The town developed largely as as result of its coal mining, and steel and iron production industries, and so boasts excellent transport links that now make it an excellent commuter base and tourist destination that provides ease of access to the whole of South Wales. Rugby is also ingrained in the tradition and heritage of Pontypool as the Pontypool Rugby Football Club was one of the founding members of the Welsh Rugby Union.

Things to see and do in the region include The Griffithstown Railway Museum, the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, Pontypool Ski Centre, and Pontymoile Day Boat Hire. There are also a number of bike hire sites to cater for excellent cycling routes in Tofaen, and Ticken's Trekking provides horse and pony rides throughout the local area for riders of all ages and experience levels.
