Ebbw Vale

Ebbw Vale is a fantastic place to live for fans of the great outdoors. From your doorstep is the Welsh Valleys spreading out below you towards Cardiff and above you, the wide-open space of the dramatic Brecon Beacons National Park. Famous for its rich mining history, the seat of Aneurin Bevin, father of the NHS, is enjoying a new wave of investment and regeneration.

A tight-knit community, in the heart of the Welsh Valleys, choosing Ebbw Vale as your new home gives you a sense of great heritage and belonging - it also has great amenities. There's a new hospital, Ysbyty Aneurin Bevin and a purpose-built leisure centre.

Sports fans welcome

The Ebbw Vale Rugby Football Club has a successful record of producing international players and they have played at a semi-professional level in the Welsh Premiership.
