Get Abertillery [pros|landscapers]

Abertillery, which translates as ‘mouth of the River Tyleri’, is the largest sized town of the Ebbw Fach valley in what used to be the historic county of Monmouthshire, South Wales. As a result of local government changes it entered into the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative area. A substantial amount of the landscape surrounds the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. Historically an important coal mining centre, the Abertillery region has gone through substantial modification in recent years. The local landscape has long been recognised for its diverse natural appeal. Situated on the A467, the town is around 15 miles (22 kilometres) north of the M4 and 5 miles (8 kilometres) south of the A465 ‘Heads of the Valleys’ trunk road. It is approximately 25 miles by road from Cardiff and 47 miles from Bristol. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11601 people. Information gathered by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 indicate that 9.9 percent of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which dropped by 2.7 percent in 2011 to 7.2 percent. Abertillery’s traditional-style town centre mainly expanded in the late 19th century and includes some impressive Victorian architecture. Spreading out over four major streets, the town has two department stores as well as covered Victorian arcade connecting 2 of the main shopping areas. These are all featured in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council remodelling and modernisation venture. By 2014, completed work consisted of several streets, public areas and the town’s Metropole Theatre. This RICS prize-winning building delivers state of the art production, exhibition, conference and conference facilities as well as housing Abertillery Museum.
