Is your land in Merthyr Tydfil the kind we want?
Fields that wrap around the edges of Merthyr Tydfil and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. In Mid Glamorgan, Merthyr Tydfil sits about 19 miles north-east of Bridgend; Aberdare and Rhymney are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
