Aberdare Park - Rhondda Cynon Taf - Wales.
"The park occupies nearly fifty acres (20.25ha). It opened on 27 July 1869. It was landscaped and planted by William Barron who had laid out many parks in England. The park was created at the instigation of R.H. Rhys.
In 1956 the National Eisteddfod was held in the park. A Gorsedd circle was erected to commemorate this event, the stone circle still remaining.
The park is the location of the annual Aberdare Park National Road Races, which is a motorcycle race held on the 0.9-mile (1.4 km) circuit within the park. The road races in 2011 were held on the weekend of July 9th & 10th
The track is the only track in the country which takes a left course. It is also one of the best on the country, and the hardest." Text Source: (
