Pentre

Ystrad Rhondda railway station, Rhondda Cynon Taf. Opened in 1986 by British Rail on the line from Cardiff to Treherbert. View north west towards Ton Pentre (the original Ystrad Rhondda station which changed its name at the same time as this station opened) and Treherbert.

Hillside path The path just cuts the corner of this square, and above here the grass slopes of Mynydd Bwllfa lead to crags, which are in the square but not visible.

Ystrad Rhondda railway station. The station is on the Rhondda Line, between Llwynypia station (about a mile ahead) and Ton Pentre station, a little less than a mile behind the camera. The twin tracks through the station merge into one track beyond the footbridge ahead. Of interest to trivia fans - Ystrad Rhondda is alphabetically the last railway station in the UK.
