Car Hire Merthyr Tydfil

Merthyr Tydfil in the south of Wales is a town with a rich heritage in industry. It is currently undergoing an expansive regeneration effort to revive the town's retail, commercial and residential areas. As one of the key towns during the industrial revolution Merthyr played an important role in supplying naval vessels with cannons during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; a fact local residents are extremely proud of. The reason Merthyr has such a strong industrial past is due to the proximity of iron ore deposits, coal and limestone; these elements combined made Merthyr the perfect place to locate ironworks. Throughout the industrial revolution works were built to the extent that Merthyr was once regarded as the iron capital of the world. Today the town has moved on from iron working, the major contemporary employers are in the telecommunications industry and the Hoover Company.
