A very nice, brisk walk. This case is situated in a beautiful park open to the public. Many acres of greenland and beautiful gardens and trees. A nice pond and the castle is beautiful with stunning views!

We come here quite often with the children as its local, perfect place for just getting out and having some fresh air and a walk. Kids love to put their wellies on and explore the woods and trails then spend as long as they can in the park afterwards. Such beautiful scenery and views, and a lovely cafe for a hot chocolate (and maybe a cake) afterwards too. :)

Went to Morlais golf club for a birthday meal with 31 family member's, service was outstanding everyone got served the same time with many different meal options. The beef dinner was the best I've had, there were lots of choice on the menu with something for everyone. We had a 7mnth old baby with us and it wasn't a problem with the golf club supplying a high chair for us. Would highly recommend.

We drove to Merthyr so that we could go shopping at Trago Mills, Cyfartha Retail Park and the Town Centre. Trago Mills is an amazing shop that takes a few hours to get around. There are various departments within the store including clothing, gardening, Christmas decorations and trees, tools, motoring, stationary and toys, soft furnishings and lighting, kitchen and bathroom showrooms and furniture. The shop was immaculate and there was clear signage around social distancing and the wearing of masks. We bought lots of items for the house including tools, new cushions, mugs, curtains and a rug, before eating dinner at the onsite chip shop For Cod Sake. We ordered sausage and chips with gravy and the food was very nice and reasonably priced. On previous visits we have gone to the Play Zone, which is an enormous inside soft play centre with slides, sensory equipment and zoned areas for children of different ages. For example there is an area for babies and an in door football court for older children. Within the Play Zone there is a cafe selling drinks and snacks, the entry fee is very cheap and the venue is great for parties. Unfortunately on this occasion it was closed due to Covid. Around Trago Mills there is also a cafe, hairdresser, bakery and nail bar. Once we finished at Trago Mills we drove to nearby Cyfartha Retail Park and looked around the many shops including Outfit, Debenhams, TK Max, Argos, JD Sports and so on. At the retail park there are lots of places to eat including McDonald's, the Harvester and KFC. After the Retail Park we went to Merthyr Town Centre which is traditional with a great mix of independent and well known shops such as New Look, Boots, Poundland and Sports Direct. There are also lots of places to eat and drink including the Caribbean Cwtch and Red Spice.
