Ebbw Vale, Industrial town in Blaenau Gwent County Borough, Wales.
Ebbw Vale is a town in Blaenau Gwent County Borough, Wales, situated at the head of the valley formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary. Rolling hills and green landscapes of South Wales surround the settlement.
The Ebbw Vale Iron Works were established in 1778, transforming a small settlement into a major center for steel production. For decades, the works drove the region's economy and growth.
The Eugene Cross Park serves as the community's sports hub, where locals have gathered for rugby and cricket matches since the late 1800s.
The Ebbw Vale Parkway railway station offers regular train connections to Cardiff Central and Newport. Good transport links make it easy to reach the town and explore the surrounding area.
Steel made here during the 1930s and 1940s was used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. This international connection reveals how far the town's industrial reputation extended.
