This park is one of the jewels of Pontypridd, a large green area accompanied by sunken gardens, well-maintained flower beds, and a little uns’ play area. Lido Ponty is at the centre of the park - book your space quickly once it reopens as it’s constantly busy! Some history in the park with the monument for Evan James and James James (who were responsible for creating the national anthem of Wales) and the war memorial. All around well-maintained green space and a nice place to sit by the River Taff. It's a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

Had a fantastic meal in tonight at the Otley. The pub looks fantastic and the food was amazing. Lovely menu and a little bit different. Very nice and friendly atmosphere and felt safe with all the government regulations being followed. Friendly staff and excellent service. Can't say enough good things about this place. Will be heading back in two weeks time to try something else on the menu. Also lovely beer garden with patio heaters at the back. Keep up the good work. Excellent.

We took our grandchildren to the Lido. The weather did not distract from a great day out. It was dull and rain forecast but it did not matter as you ignore welsh weather! We had a fabulous time. All the lifeguards were very professional. It was spotlessly clean. Changing rooms were fabulous. Safety is paramount in all three pools. Certainly a great venue. There’s a well equipped park , toilet facilities and picnic areas. Very reasonable, especially to go on the floats. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Can’t wait to go back next summer. Only problem was finding parking due to a lot of construction work going on in the heart of the town. Otherwise a great day out.

This is a traditional indoor market with a variety of stalls selling baby's clothes, wool, greeting cards, flowers, soveniers, makeup, confectionery and so on. The market traders are friendly and the prices are very fair. Within the market there are several places to eat (to suit all tastes and budgets). On a Saturday there is also an outdoor market selling clothes, toys and bags. If visiting Pontypridd I would definitely recommend a visit. Pontypridd town has lots of lovely shops including Warren James the Jewellers, Pep & Co, River Island, B & M, Boots, Iceland, Shaw's, Peacock's,, Dorothy Perkins and the Card Factory. In addition to this there is a stunning park and there are lots of places to eat and drink including Cafe Royale, Gregg's, The Bunch of Grapes,t The parking cafe and so forth. On the outskirts of the town there is a retail park where you will find Argos, Halfords, B & Q and Currys PC World. Within the carpark there is a burger van that sells delicious snacks. Pontypridd is a great town to visit, there is plenty to do and it has great transport links to neighbouring towns and cities.
