🌿 Breathe Easy - Food, Forests & Far Reaching Views

Slow down and see Merthyr Tydfil at its greenest.

✨ Eat well at Casa Bianca, a much loved local Italian serving beautifully prepared dishes in the heart of town.
🌿 Switch off at The Roost, an award winning eco glamping escape just off the Taff Trail. It's perfectly placed for walkers and cyclists heading towards BikePark Wales. Peaceful cabins, wildflower surrounds and a relaxing sauna space make it easy to recharge.
🚂 Breathe it in on the Brecon Mountain Railway, as historic steam journeys carry you through woodland, past reservoirs and into the wide open landscapes of Bannau Brycheiniog, where the clean air fills your lungs and views stretch for miles.

Fresh air. Forest calm. Far reaching views.
Sometimes the best escapes are closer than you think.

Croeso i Merthyr Tydfil

Blooming lovely. As are our guests & this lush feedback from recent guest Paul:
"The Roost feels like a little oasis tucked away for riders. The facilities were excellent and everything felt set up with mountain bikers in mind. What really made it stand out though was the atmosphere. It almost naturally brings guests together and creates a really social environment. We would 100% recommend The Roost and will absolutely be coming back."
