Bidmead Cook Aberdare Office

Placed in the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf in South Wales, Aberdare is situated at the confluence of the Rivers Dare (Dâr) and Cynon.

4 miles south-west of Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare is 24 miles north-west of Cardiff and 22 miles northeast of Swansea with good road access to both and to the motorway network.

Considered a centre of Welsh culture, Aberdare hosted the first National Eisteddfod in 1861, 1885, and in 1956 at Aberdare Park where the Gorsedd standing stones still exist and draw visitors from far afield.

From humble beginnings at the start of the 19th century Aberdare was a small village set in an agricultural district but during the industrial revolution, Aberdare grew rapidly in population looking to take advantage of its abundance of coal and iron ore reserves. The population of the whole parish increased tenfold during the first half of the 19th century.

Aberdare now offers a busy and vibrant town centre with arts venues, theatre, and great recreational facilities including a 600-seat auditorium and cinema close by. Situated in a prominent position of Aberdare Town Centre, Bidmead Cook Estate Agents offer a professional service in all aspects of property sales and lettings. The agency benefits from local staff which between them have years experience of the area.
