Iron rails once shuddered with revolution beneath Aberdare’s calm green hills. Secrets echo between chapels where ancient hymns linger and the park’s leafy paths hide whispers of rebellion.

Uncover Aberdare’s untold stories on a self-guided audio tour, tracing winding lanes from Aberdare Park to Gadlys Chapel and beyond. Move at your own pace and unlock the layered history others overlook.

What drove an urgent midnight gathering at Ebenezer Chapel that threatened to topple the town’s leaders? Why did mysterious tokens turn up beside Trecynon’s old pulpit, baffling locals for decades? Which forgotten plaque in a sun-dappled corner records an accident that changed Aberdare forever?

Walk these storied streets and feel the pulse of past dramas. Hear winds stir over lost causes and improbable triumphs. Each step draws you closer to hidden Aberdare as it breathes just beneath the surface.

The secrets of Aberdare await your discovery. Begin listening now.
