Mountain Ash
Tiny Welsh town in the Cynon Valley, Mountain Ash sits alongside the River Cynon in the upland terrain of Rhondda Cynon Taf, with a concentration of historic churches notable for a settlement of its size. Cardiff lies a short drive to the south-east, and the wider region includes UNESCO World Heritage sites. The town's Welsh name, Aberpennar, reflects its position at the confluence of the Pennar stream with the Cynon.
