Glyncorrwg
was once an important coal mining centre, typical of the South Wales
valleys. But when the closure of the pits came in 1970 everything
changed. Mines buildings were cleared away, factories closed, and
people left to find new jobs.
Then in 1990
the villagers of Glyncorrwg decided to take advantage of the beautiful
scenery and complement it with a series of lakes along the narrow
valley.
In 2003 created
three of the worlds greatest mountain bike trails and the UK's number
one mountain bike centre.. |
