Swingers in Pontypridd

Pontypridd is a town of around 33,000 people at the confluence of the Taff and Rhondda rivers — the gateway to the Rhondda Valleys and a place whose old bridge gives it its name. Tom Jones was born in nearby Treforest, and the town's musical heritage includes the Male Voice Choir tradition that runs through every Valleys community. Pontypridd has the University of South Wales campus, a regenerated town centre and a position that connects the Valleys to Cardiff.

The town centre around Taff Street and Market Street has been improved with the Llys Cadwyn development. The Bunch of Grapes on the Broadway is a pub with a restaurant reputation that extends beyond the Valleys. The Llanover Arms and the Maltsters provide more traditional options. For Cardiff's superior venue choice, the city is 12 miles south by train or the A470.

Ynysangharad War Memorial Park provides Pontypridd's best outdoor asset — the Lido has been restored as a heated outdoor pool, and the park's paths along the Taff provide walking-meeting options with genuine riverside character.

The Rhondda Valleys — Tonypandy, Treorchy, Porth — stretch north-west from Pontypridd. These communities are intensely close-knit, and SwingingSite provides the anonymous platform that lifestyle exploration requires in valleys where everyone knows everyone through chapel, choir and rugby club.

The University of South Wales campus at Treforest brings students who add a younger demographic to the SwingingSite community. The university's creative industries programme attracts students from across Wales and beyond.
