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!
