The County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf is made up of three parts – the Taff Ely area, the Rhondda Valley and the Cynon Valley. Situated in the heart of Wales just north of Cardiff, between the Brecon Beacons and the M4 Motorway. We’re the second largest local authority in Wales, with approximately 232,000 people living in 424 square miles.
