What to know
Where to stay
Hirwaun is primarily a commuter and industrial village with no hotel. Visitors to the Tower Colliery Zip Wire or Brecon Beacons typically stay in Merthyr Tydfil (Premier Inn, Travelodge, 10 miles), Brecon (14 miles, multiple guesthouses) or Aberdare (6 miles, several B&Bs). The village is a practical gateway to the southern Brecon Beacons for those travelling from Cardiff or the M4; Rhigos mountain summit is 2 miles from the village.
