Neath, Market town in South Wales, United Kingdom.
The River Neath flows through this industrial center, situated in a valley surrounded by green hills and woodland areas.
The Romans established a fort called Nidum here in 75 CE, marking the beginning of permanent settlement in the Neath Valley.
Neath hosts a September festival featuring Welsh poetry, music performances, and traditional craft exhibitions at Victoria Gardens.
The Neath railway station connects directly to Cardiff Central and Swansea, with regular services running throughout the day.
The Grade I listed Neath Abbey contains remains of a Cistercian monastery, including a Tudor mansion integrated into medieval structures.
