Rhondda Valley showing a ruin and tranquil scenes
Rhondda Valley which includes street scenes as well as a small group of people
Water course Most land that has been reclaimed from mining activity has large areas of coal slag below. Lessons were learned for the Aberfan disaster and for this reason watercourses are built into the land to ensure water is drained from the land.

Ton Pentre railway station, Rhondda Cynon Taf Opened in 1861 by the Taff Vale Railway on the line from Cardiff to Treherbert. View south east towards Ystrad Rhondda and Cardiff. However, between 1861 and 1986, it was this station that was known as Ystrad or Ystrad Rhondda. There was formerly a northbound line and platform to the right, even though the section closest to the camera is built over the river (just visible to the left of the blue fencing).
