Tredegar, Industrial town in Blaenau Gwent County Borough, Wales

The town sits along the Sirhowy River, surrounded by hills that provided essential resources for mining and iron production during its industrial period.

Samuel Homfray established the first furnace in 1797, transforming Tredegar from a settlement of three houses into a major industrial center.

The Tredegar Town Band, established in 1849, continues the musical tradition through performances and competitions throughout Wales and beyond.

Bedwellty Park offers visitors extensive gardens, walking paths, and a Victorian mansion that now serves as a museum and community center.

Tredegar's Town Clock, constructed in 1858, stands as a central landmark and meeting point within the circular town center design.
