About the Taff Bargoed
The Taff Bargoed, Afon Taf Bargoed in Welsh, is a small tributary of the River Taff in the south Wales valleys. It lies off the Abercynon roundabout on the A470, and the valley takes in Nelson, Edwardsville, Quakers Yard, Treharris, Trelewis and Bedlinog. It is the place where the three county boroughs of Caerphilly, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil meet.
Originally a collection of farms, the valley was industrialised from the early 1800s through coal mining, and the Taff Merthyr and Deep Navigation collieries worked here. The mines closed in the 1980s, and the valley has since been extensively redeveloped. The culvert through which the river used to run was blocked off, so that it could flow naturally again, and two lakes and some weirs for canoeing were added. Parc Taf Bargoed, in the middle of the valley, is a Green Flag park, and walking, cycling and horse riding are encouraged there.
The river itself is small and fishes for brown trout, fly only. The Taff Bargoed joins the Taff near Treharris.
