Walking and mountain leaders near Porth

Shopping street — not a harbour, Taff is Pontypridd.

Porth walking means the shopping street and station where the two Rhonddas meet — Saturday footfall; this is not a harbour walk despite the name. Pontypridd's Taff Street is a different walk on the same taxi table.

What to know

Walking and outdoors

Rhondda Heritage Park (Trehafod, 2 miles south) is the valleys' premier industrial heritage experience — underground tours of Lewis Merthyr Colliery, a 4D theatre and winding-gear demonstrations. The Penrhys ridge above Porth (545m) offers wide views across both Rhondda valleys and toward the Vale of Glamorgan.
