What to know

Walking and outdoors

Llancaiach Fawr Manor (Nelson) is a Grade I listed manor house recreated as it was in 1645 — costumed interpreters speak in period dialect; one of Wales's most immersive living-history experiences. The Hengoed Viaduct walk and the connecting Taff Trail access point near Quakers Yard round out the area's outdoor offer.
