Location. Merthyr Tydfil is a great location - see what our businesses say. If you want a great quality of life, Merthyr Tydfil is the place to be:

Location

It has an abundance of restaurants, cafes and bars, fantastic golf courses and a dynamic arts, festival and entertainment scene

It boasts a brand new leisure park development - The Merthyr Tydfil Leisure Village (which is located directly opposite Orbit Business Centre). This is a £25M development with a state-of-the-art leisure centre, 10-pin bowling complex, cinema, hotel, restaurants, cafes and bars!

It has wonderful homes (old and new) to rent and buy at highly affordable prices

It has the benefit of being close to Wales' capital city, yet within a haven of tranquillity and beautiful scenery

It's steeped in history - once the iron capital of the world, Merthyr Tydfil breathes life into its history with Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Joseph Parry's Cottage (probably Wales' best-known musician and composer) and Brecon Mountain Railway

Merthyr Tydfil has a busy, expanding retail sector, with many major High Street brands and specialist boutiques, as well as the expected arrival of TRAGO, the Westcountry's Unique Family Shopping and Leisure Parks, in 2009

In short, people move here for the healthy lifestyle, magnificent culture and the great outdoors!
