Merthyr Tydfil and the places nearby.
Merthyr Tydfil was once the iron-making capital of the world, with the great works at Cyfarthfa and Dowlais, and it remains the main town at the head of the valleys. Terraced housing lines the hillsides of its districts and villages, and much of it needs ongoing repair and upgrading. The retail park and dual carriageway draw shoppers from across the valleys. A Merthyr business should name Dowlais, Troedyrhiw and the other communities, and keep prices clear for a value-conscious market.
