Welcome to Rhondda Cynon Taf Libraries Heritage Trail Website

 The map (right) indicates where you can find us. Situated to the north of Cardiff, at the heart of South Wales, Rhondda-Cynon-Taf encompasses the three distinct areas of the Rhondda Valley, the Cynon Valley and Taff Ely

 The website provides an essential guide to discovering the rich industrial, social and cultural heritage of the county borough. Let us help you to explore over 200 years of our local history.

  Access to the historical photographs, maps, illustrations and stories of the varied communities of Rhondda Cynon Taf is provided through the three separate interactive map links (left).

Further local history information is available at our three main libraries situated at Pontypridd, Treorchy and Aberdare

Thanks to a grant from the Big Lottery Fund the library service has been able to join with ‘ Big Anthem Fawr' to create features on the ‘National Anthem', the ‘Old Bridge' at Pontypridd and the “History of Pontypridd” - Click here
