    Road cycling

    Pontrhydyfen is a small former coal mining community at the confluence of the River Afan and the Afon Pelenna. It is distinguished by two large 19th-century bridges that span the valley: a railway viaduct (the red bridge) and a former aqueduct, known as Y Bont Fawr ("The Big Bridge").

    You can enjoy lovely views of the town and Afon Valley from this high up viewpoint on Pontrhydyfen Viaduct. The viaduct itself was build in 1898 by the Port Talbot Railway.
