Ebbw Vale is a town at the head of the valley formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary of the Ebbw River in Wales. It is the largest town and the administrative centre of Blaenau Gwent county borough. The Ebbw Vale and Brynmawr conurbation has a population of roughly 33,000. It has direct access to the dualled A465 Heads of the Valleys trunk road and borders the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Y Domen Fawr is a Bronze Age burial cairn above the town and at Cefn Manmoel you can find a demarcation dyke possibly of neolithic or medieval origins. In relatively modern times the area was a quiet uplands spot in rural Monmouthshire. With only about 120 inhabitants at the end of the 18th century, Ebbw Vale and the whole area was transformed by the Industrial Revolution.
Ebbw Vale Iron Works, later to become the Ebbw Vale Steelworks, opened in 1778, followed by the opening of a number of coal mines around 1790. Rails for the Stockton and Darlington Railway were manufactured at Ebbw Vale in 1829. At its height (1930s — 40s) the steel works in Ebbw Vale was the largest in Europe, although attracting very little attention from German bombers during World War II. By the 1960s around 14,500 people were employed. The end of the century witnessed a massive collapse of the UK steel industry.
Ebbw Vale is recovering from a period of one of the highest unemployment rates in the United Kingdom, largely as a result of the decline of the mining and steel industries. There are several industrial estates with some significant manufacturing facilities. Yuasa/Ybel is a good example.
In 2003 work began on demolishing and redeveloping the steelworks site. By 2015 the site was completely changed with a new hospital, college campus, school and leisure centre. Ebbw Vale first hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1958. The Welsh language was dominant in the area until the last quarter of the 19th century and remnants of the language (Welsh hymns and pockets of Welsh being spoken in nearby Rhymney) persisted into the 1970s. The National Eisteddfod returned to Ebbw Vale in 2010.
The Ebbw Vale conurbation today runs in an almost unbroken housing street plan 3 miles or so from Beaufort in the North to Cwm in the South. There are significant areas of modern housing to the north and south of the town. Ebbw Vale sporting organisations have a long history. Rugby and cricket have flourished with the town’s Eugene Cross Park as their home. Ebbw Vale Rugby Football Club can trace its roots back to the 1890’s. Nicknamed the “Steelmen” after the area’s former industrial base they have a successful record with many players achieving international honours.
With trains serving the town from the new Ebbw Vale Parkway railway station. An extension of the line to a new northern terminus, Ebbw Vale Town, was opened on 17 May 2015. In June 2015 a new incline elevator, the Ebbw Vale Cableway, was opened.

10 Worst Towns to Live in Wales
What are the worst towns to live in Wales? We don’t want to make it boring. Otherwise, we would have listed all the towns in Wales in the order of how they are considered good. Even if we could do that, some people may view such a listing as conjectural. Towns considered good by a reviewer may be seen as bad by another. But then, for the sake of this production, let’s assume that all the towns in Wales are good. But they can’t all be equally good. If some had higher degrees of goodness, yes, they are better. And if some towns are better than others, the logic follows that some are worse. On that positive note, let’s discuss the 10 worst towns to live in Wales.
10. Ebbw Vale
Ebbw Vale, the town at the head of the valley which is formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary of the Ebbw River is the largest town in Blaenau Gwent county borough. Its direct access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys trunk road doesn’t make it a good place to live in Wales. The town bordering the Brecon Beacons National Park Ebbw Vale isn’t economically viable with the second-lowest mean salary in Britain. In fact, for the people to survive, 5 food banks are operating in the community. This has also affected the town educationally. This is indicated by its having the worst GCSE results in Wales. Meanwhile, Ebbw Vale is the town with the cheapest home price in England and Wales as no one would be willing to buy a home in a place very bad to live in.
9. Pontypool
As we think about Pontypool, we’re filled with the emotion of love for the residents of the people. No, this doesn’t mean we love to live among them or envy their situation. We only salute their resilience that makes them remain in a town without no places to visit, no nightlife, no restaurants and bars, and with zero social life. This administrative center of the county borough of Torfaen has nothing like a sense of community. Ironically, there’s no privacy in this town as almost everyone will notice your presence or absence. Your financial status is in public knowledge. Care needs to be taken in such a town to select a date if you don’t want to have an incestuous amorous affair.
8. Llangefni
The case of Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey, whose name in Welsh means meaning “church on the River Cefni,” is pathetic. The town which is home to the principal offices of the Isle of Anglesey County Council and the second largest settlement in that county has too many bad reviews. But to stay on a kinder side, we would side with those who consider it one of the worst Welsh towns to live because of the number of old people in the town. The town is actually gradually taking up the appearance of old peoples’ homes as it has a higher percentage of older people. That should tell you that the town is boring and is economically disadvantaged. The town’s unemployment rate is higher than the national average.
7. Port Talbot
What image does the name of the town, Port Talbot evoke? If you choose to turn a blind eye to the negatives, you are likely to see a town and community of the home of one of the biggest steelworks in the world. That is cute. But that economic opportunity which covers a large area of land, dominating the southeast of the town does not come without a cost for the town. The environmental pollution this has caused for the town some 13 kilometers from Swansea has made it one of the worst places to live. The town is filled with the stench from this and other dirt dominating the place.
6. Llantwit Major
Our attention is now on Llantwit Major, a community on the Bristol Channel coast. This is one of 4 towns in the Vale of Glamorgan. The community located about 7.2 kilometers from Cowbridge, 14 kilometers from Bridgend, 16 kilometers from Barry, and 24 kilometers from Cardiff has not allowed these nice locations to rub off on it. It is one of the 10 worst places in Wales on this list for anyone who cares about safety. The crime rate there is rather on the high side and this is obviously inimical a good living. We would recommend living in any other place in Wales before mentioning Llantwit Major.

Ebbw Vale Line; Cardiff-Ebbw Vale return window views 2017
Since my clips of track laying on the branch have proved popular, I decided to take a ride on the line last week. Should have gone in winter ! So many trees in full leaf that there is little to see of the lineside/countryside. However for those of you who don't know the area I decided to go ahead with this edit. Hope you catch the station names too and the final shots of the flags in Cardiff.

Places to see in ( Aberystwyth - UK )
Aberystwyth is a historic market town, administrative centre, and holiday resort within Ceredigion, West Wales, often colloquially known as Aber. Aberystwyth is located near the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
Historically part of Cardiganshire, since the late 19th century, Aberystwyth has also been a major Welsh educational centre, with the establishment of a university college there in 1872. Aberystwyth has a pier and a seafront which stretches from Constitution Hill, at the north end of the Promenade, to the mouth of the harbour at the south, taking in two separate beach stretches divided by the castle. Today, it essentially comprises a number of different areas: Aberystwyth town, Llanbadarn Fawr, Waunfawr, Llanbadarn, Trefechan, Penparcau (the most populous).
Aberystwyth is an isolated town, considering the population density of the United Kingdom. The nearest substantial settlements are located at least 1 hour 45 minutes' drive away: Swansea, to the south, is 70 miles (110 km) away; Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, England, to the east, is 75 miles (120 km) away; and Wrexham, to the north-east, is approximately 80 miles (130 km) away. The Welsh capital, Cardiff, is over 100 miles (160 km) away. London is 210 miles (340 km) distant from Aberystwyth.
Aberystwyth is a tourist destination, and forms a cultural link between North Wales and South Wales. Constitution Hill, scaled by the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway, gives access to panoramic views and to other attractions at the summit, including a camera obscura. Scenic Mid Wales landscape within easy reach of the town includes the wilderness of the Cambrian Mountains, whose valleys contain forests and meadows which have changed little in centuries. A convenient way to access the interior is by the preserved narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway. Although the town is relatively modern, there are a number of historic buildings, including the remains of the castle and the Old College of Aberystwyth University nearby. The Old College was originally built and opened in 1865 as a hotel, but after the owner's bankruptcy the shell of the building was sold to the university in 1867.
The new university campus overlooks Aberystwyth from Penglais Hill to the east of the town centre. The station, a terminus of the main railway, was built in 1924 in the typical style of the period, mainly in a mix of Gothic, Classical Revival, and Victorian architecture. The town is the unofficial capital of Mid Wales, and several institutions have regional or national offices there. Public bodies located in the town include the National Library of Wales, which incorporates the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales, one of six British regional film archives. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales maintains and curates the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW), providing the public with information about the built heritage of Wales. Aberystwyth is also the home to the national offices of UCAC and Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society), and the site of the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research. The Welsh Books Council and the offices of the standard historical dictionary of Welsh, Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru, are also located in the town.

12 Most Hated Places to Live in Wales
What are the most hated places in Wales? There are surely two sides to every coin. When you see the passion with which some people admire and love their homes in Wales and name nice seaside towns, dockyards, communities, villages, and hamlets in Wales, you will be left to wonder if there can ever be anywhere hated in Wales. Yet, there are places in Wales that are also passionately derided, mocked, and treated with utmost disdain. While doing our due diligence, we discover that some hated towns in Wales are not hated absolutely, not by all. In this video, we have compiled the list of the 12 most hated places to live in Wales. Please note that many of them are also among the worst towns in Wales.
12. Cwmbran
We’re kick-starting this in Cwmbran, a town in the county borough of Torfaen. A lot of terrible things have been said about the residents and the by fellow residents and outsiders. However, the main reason we are mentioning this town is the safety concern. While it might not top in the overall crime rates, you have to look more closely to find up to three towns of its status with a higher crime rate in Wales. Thus, this town is hated, not for environmental factors, but for human factors, occasioned by the residents.
11. Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay, a town, community, and seaside resort in Conwy County Borough on the northern coast has expanded to the point of becoming the second-largest community and business center in the north of Wales and the 14th largest in the whole of Wales. Yet, it has little or nothing to show for that economically. It’s a drab and miserable place to live. Compounding its woes are its high crime rates. Its beach is dirty and hasn’t shown anything for the efforts to make it better; the horrendous concrete building appears as if the last time it was maintained was 1970.
10. Aberdare
We once argued against the notion that this is a town loved by criminals. Yet, we can’t turn a blind high to the high crime rate of this town in the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf. As of the last check, it’s the third most dangerous small town in Mid-Glamorgan. You just need to see what we’ve discovered about this town in our video about the 12 worst places to live. If it is conveniently and justifiably listed in that ranking, we all know that no one will love to live in one of the worst places.
9. Fairbourne
Fairbourne, a tiny village nestled between Snowdonia National Park and the Irish Sea has been begging for a slot on this ranking. The place is currently facing an existential crisis, no thanks to the high risk of future flooding as a result of climate change. A while ago, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the organization in charge of flood management in Wales, spent £6.8m on strengthening 2.9 kilometers of concrete tidal defenses so that over 400 properties in the town can be protected from storm surges and flooding, and to complete other constructions. But we’re not happy to let you know that the Gwynedd Council, in charge of this village has said since 2014 that it couldn’t maintain flood defenses of the village indefinitely. By 2054 latest, the village will no longer be livable. Who would ever love to live in such a place?
8. Denbighshire
You might want to argue against the inclusion of Denbighshire on this list if you consider some of its towns like Llangollen, a community situated on the River Dee. However, when it comes to how good and convenient a place is for living, the entire county is generally hated, except for a pocket of towns there like Llangollen and Ruthin. Reviewers have not been generally kind to this county in the northeast of Wales.

12 Worst Places to Live in Wales
What are the worst places to live in Wales? This is tough, though, we know. But we have to lay it bare and mention it as we have felt it in the pulse of the people. Before we go on, however, we have to state emphatically that you can’t find a country that has every part of it equally great, glittering like gold. Every country has its own fair share of problems. Wales can never be an exemption. While there are naturally and architecturally beautiful places in Wales that we will happily recommend for anyone to live in, the region also has places considered terrible. Based on the reviews of those who have lived or are still living there, here are the 12 worst places to live in Wales.
12. Denbighshire
Denbighshire, a county in the northeast of Wales has been in the news for different reasons at different times. Today, we are looking at how good the place is for living. A website where residents of towns and cities review their residences has not been kind to this county. One of the reviewers decries what he described as running the gauntlet for the most dirt, adding that the streets, pubs, and shops are the most ridiculous in the UK. The review goes on to mention shops with a poor customer base.
11. Aberdare
In the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf, you will find the town of Aberdare at the confluence of the Rivers Dare and Cynon. The town 6 kilometer southwest of Merthyr Tydfil and 32 kilometers northwest of Cardiff is the third most dangerous small town in Mid- Glamorgan. And of the 68 towns, villages, and cities in Mid-Glamorgan, it is among the most dangerous places. In fact, the 2021 overall crime rate in Aberdare was 102 crimes per 1,000 people. This was 30 percent higher than the Mid-Glamorgan rate. In the whole of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Aberdare ranks high among the most dangerous small towns.
10. Ebbw Vale
Ebbw Vale, the largest town in Blaenau Gwent is on this list for good reasons. If you would love to buy a home anywhere in England and Wales, you would find the cheapest here. However, hardly would anyone enjoy living in a place with the second-lowest mean salary in the UK. And we don’t know what you would love to do in a town with one of the worst GCSE results in Wales. In this small area of about 108 square kilometers, five food banks operate indicative of how bad the place is financially and economically. Ebbw Vale is a story of the result of the deindustrialization of the 1980s. This is an example of a poor move from one form of economic life to another and diversification.
9. Pontypool
Let us consider also Pontypool, a town and the administrative center of the county borough of Torfaen. Located within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire, this town has given South Wales Valleys the description it doesn’t deserve. The major issue with this town is that everyone seems to know each other and their businesses. They can’t mind their business here and if you love privacy, Pontypool is one of the few places you have to avoid. A while ago, this town had one of the highest antisocial behaviors and crime rates in Britain. We wish we didn’t have to amplify that awful rating.
8. Llangefni, Wales
Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey, has too many bad reviews and ranking than what we can comment on. We have observed that what seems scary to those visitors isn’t too serious for many who were born there. However, what will make life boring for you in Llangefni is that the population as a whole is older than the national average. Unless you’re prepared to work as a nurse, that’s not a good place to live. Another issue is that the rate of unemployment there is higher than the national average.

Chinese Takeaway @ Smiling Valley Eatery Ebbw Vale Wales UK Dec 2021
We were in Ebbw Vale, Wales, UK! Stayed at the Premier Inn Ebbw Vale for 2 nights and for both nights, we got our dinner from this Chinese takeaway called Smiling Valley. The address is 7 Park Pl, Waun-Lwyd, Ebbw Vale NP23 6TP, United Kingdom.
We decided to take a walk to this Chinese takeaway called Smiling Valley. Based on google maps, we could walk there in 10-12 minutes. It was a bit chilly that evening but we found our way quite easily, walking through the Ebbw Vale Parkway.
The place was busy! Many people called in to place their orders. We ordered only when we reached there and had to wait about 15 minutes for our food. Of course, after getting the food, we walked back. The next night, I drove there instead.
The food tasted decent. Glad to have Chinese takeaway in Wales. Anyway, due to COVID, we decided to play it safe and just take our dinner in our hotel room, instead of dining out at a restaurant. We supplemented our dinner with fruits and desserts from Tesco.

Snow EVERYwhere @ Aneurin Bevan Stones & Ebbw Vale Festival Park (lower garden)
Winter is Coming - Wait.. no, its here!
Arguably the prettiest video I have made. The snow laden background has given me such a perfect canvas…and along with this stunning soundtrack i’ve found i’m really happy with how it has turned out.
There are two locations here. The opening (with the rocks) is the Aneurin Bevan Stones near Ebbw Vale.. (description link below) a very worthy memorial to someone that helped make the NHS possible today.. located around a couple of lakes and some great brown field walking sites.
Secondly, The lower part of Ebbw Vale festival Park (see direction link below) a very very pretty part of our little world ANY time of year.. lots of wildlife, fish, birds, flora and fauna. Steps leading up to the retail outlet to…

Embsay & Bolton Abbey Railway

Tuesday 15th February 2022
30742 Charters
Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST 1208 of 1916
The locomotive was initially used for war work at the Ministry of Munitions at Gretna Green. In 1922 the locomotive was bought by the Bradford Corporation to work passenger and goods trains over the Nidd Valley Light Railway between Pately Bridge and Lofthouse, and up to Scar House reservoir. It was initially named “Mitchell” after the waterworks engineer who was overseeing the reservoir project. In 1930 (until 1938) it was renamed ‘Illingworth’ after William Illingworth, who opened the reservoir in 1936 as part of the Nidd Valley Water Supply Scheme. This period of the locomotives life is what is being recreated during this charter.
After the Niddy closed in 1936, the locomotive was sold Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd., were it was renamed ‘Harold’, and worked upon the building of the huge Ebbw Vale steelworks in Wales. It was sold to Mowlem’s in 1940, and once again carried out war duties, this time at Swynnerton and Ruddington, taking the name ‘Swynnerton’.
The locomotive returned to steam at Embsay in 2017.
