Neath is a town and community situated in the principal area of Neath Port Talbot, Wales. Historically in Glamorgan, the town of Neath is located on the river of the same name, 7 miles (11 km) east northeast of Swansea.
Historically, Neath was the crossing place of the River Neath and has existed as a settlement since the Romans established the fort of Nido or Nidum in the AD 70s. The Roman fort took its name from the River Nedd; the meaning is obscure but 'shining' or simply 'river' have been suggested. Neath is the Anglicised form.
St Illtyd visited the Neath area and established a settlement in what is now known as Llantwit on the northern edge of the town. The church of St. Illtyd was built at this settlement and was enlarged in Norman times. The Norman and pre Norman church structure remains intact and active to day within the Church in Wales. The Welsh language name for Neath is Castell-nedd, referring to the Norman Neath Castle.
Neath was a market town that expanded with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century with new manufacturing industries of iron, steel and tinplate. The Mackworth family, who owned the Gnoll Estate. The River Neath is a navigable estuary and Neath was a river port until recent times. The heavy industries are no more with the town being a commercial and tourism centre. Attractions for visitors are the ruins of the Cistercian Neath Abbey, the Gnoll Park and Neath Indoor Market.
The previous borough council was absorbed into the larger unitary authority of Neath Port Talbot on 1 April 1996. The town encompasses the electoral wards of Neath East, Neath North and Neath South. Neath and the surrounding area is represented at Westminster by Christina Rees MP (Labour) and in the National Assembly for Wales by Gwenda Thomas AM (Labour).
Neath is served by First Great Western on the South Wales Main Line at Neath railway station, on Windsor Road, in the heart of the town. Services operate to Port Talbot Parkway, Bridgend, Cardiff Central, Newport, Bristol Parkway, Swindon, Didcot Parkway, Reading and London Paddington to the east and Swansea, Carmarthen and West Wales to the west.

Places to see in ( Swansea - UK )
Swansea, officially known as the City and County of Swansea, is a coastal city and county in Wales. Swansea is the second largest city in Wales after Cardiff, and the twenty-fifth largest city in the UK.
Swansea lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan and the ancient Welsh commote of Gŵyr. Situated on the sandy South West Wales coast, the county of Swansea area includes the Gower Peninsula and the Lliw uplands.
The City and County of Swansea local authority area is bordered by unitary authorities of Carmarthenshire to the north, and Neath Port Talbot to the east. Swansea is bounded by Swansea Bay and the Bristol Channel to the south. Swansea can be roughly divided into four physical areas. To the north are the Lliw uplands which are mainly open moorland, reaching the foothills of the Black Mountain. To the west is the Gower Peninsula with its rural landscape dotted with small villages. To the east is the coastal strip around Swansea Bay. Cutting though the middle from the south-east to the north-west is the urban and suburban zone stretching from the Swansea city centre to the towns of Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
Swansea City A.F.C. (founded 1912) is the city's main football association team. Originally playing at the Vetch Field, they moved to the Liberty Stadium at the start of the 2005–2006 season, winning promotion to League One in their final year at their old stadium. The team presently play in the Premier League, after being promoted during the 2010/11 season. The Football Association of Wales had decided that for the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, Wales would play all of their home ties at either the Cardiff City Stadium or the Liberty Stadium. Swansea has three association football clubs that play in the Welsh Football League: Garden Village, South Gower and West End.

Filmed on th 29th August 2023
Discovering Neath Canal, Sept 2020
This is a slow TV video of a 20 km (12 mile) walk along the Neath Canal towpath. It shares the ambient sounds and landscape of the Neath Valley, towards the western end of 'The Valleys' of South Wales.
Running from Glynneath to Briton Ferry, the Canal once took coal and other raw materials and manufactured goods to the factories and ports of the coast for export around the world. Today it is a quiet survival from Wales' industrial past just waiting to be discovered.

Note that all distances are a rough guide only, and not an official measurement of the canal length.
The tow-path north of Neath is part of the Sustrans National Route 46, and south of Neath it is part of National Route 47.
The owners of the canal remain Neath Canal Navigation Ltd (ie it is not part of the Canal and River Trust). The company remains responsible for the Neath Canal south of Resolven, whilst management of the canal rests with Neath Port Talbot council, who have also been active in promoting it's restoration.
Many of the major restoration works have been coordinated by the Neath and Tennant Canals Trust, who also organise volunteer-led projects and were running the 'Thomas Dadford' boat trips until the boat was found to be beyond repair in 2020.

WONDERFUL FOUR WATERFALLS WALK (Bannau Brycheiniog National Park) #holiday#wales#waterfall
Waterfall Country
Located right on the south-westerly edge of the National Park this area is truly one of the splendours of Wild Wales and amongst the most beautiful and popular parts of the National Park. Here the rivers Mellte, Hepste, Pyrddin and Nedd-fechan wind their way down deep, tree-lined gorges, over a series of dramatic waterfalls, before joining to form the River Neath.
Waterfall Country is a very special place to visit with many things to see
and do. This area is of international importance in terms of the wildlife it
supports and it has been designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The area receives around 160,000 visitors a year which includes walkers,
outdoor groups, photographers, climbers, cavers and canoeists. As a result of the immense pressure this fragile site has been suffering. Many of the paths and areas around the waterfalls have become heavily eroded. For the last two years Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority,Natural Resources Wales and the Countryside Council for Wales have been working closely to try and undo the damage.
The Wildlife of Waterfall Country
The water creates a humid and wet atmosphere and the steep sides shelter the area from sun and wind. This warm and wet environment is filled with plant life covering every available surface. It is a Welsh rainforest, far more scarce than the more familiar tropical rainforest. There are only a handful of places like it anywhere in the world.
Waterfall Country is a magical place, but also a fragile place. The mosses, ferns and other plants all cling onto rocks and trees and can easily be dislodged by passing feet. All visitors are asked to keep to marked footpaths and to take care not to damage trees or moss covered rocks. With your help, we can keep this place special for future generations. Visitors to the site can play a part in looking after this stunning area. For most of us the biggest contribution we can make is to:
– keep to the footpaths
– take litter home with us
– avoid disturbance to plants and wildlife
– leave fallen wood alone
– not cut trees for firewood
History and Geology
Waterfall Country is an area of historical significance and also falls within the Fforest Fawr Geopark.
There are around 130 known historic sites within Waterfall Country, ranging from the hillfort at Craig y Ddinas, the industrial buildings of the Glynneath Gunpowder Works to Sarn Helen – an ancient Roman road running between Coelbren and Brecon Gaer forts – that skirts the north-western edge of Waterfall Country.
The industrial remains of the area are relatively rich. The industrial sites were located close to their source of material or power.
