YOUR Merthyr Tydfil

After the rain

The clouds begin to lift.
The landscape sharpens.
The rivers shine and the valleys seem greener than ever.
Merthyr has always had a way of looking its best after the rain.

An Unexpected Addition

The fountain at Cyfarthfa Castle has been a focal point for generations.
Its stone carvings have watched over countless visitors passing through the park.
Today, it looked as though there was one more joining them.

One of those Merthyr moments where the past and present share the same frame.

What is visitor accommodation registration?

From October 2026, if you take bookings for overnight stays in Wales, you must register with the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) by law.

By 31 March 2027, you must register your visitor accommodation with the Welsh Revenue Authority. You’ll be able to register for free online.

Registration is free and will help:
• visitors find registered accommodation
• provide data to support tourism in Wales
• you collect and pay Visitor Levy (if your local council introduces it)

Reservoir Reflections

Not every day out needs a plan.
Sometimes it’s simply open water, changing skies and a few moments to stop and appreciate the view.
Merthyr’s reservoirs have a way of slowing everything down.

Somewhere Quiet

Merthyr has its share of adventure.
But it also has places where the only thing you need to do is slow down.
Somewhere to sit.
Somewhere to think.
Somewhere quiet.
