By the middle of the 15th century, the town contained a water mill in addition to a number of thatched cottages, of which no evidence remains. The original parish church of St John the Baptist was originally built in 1189. Some of its original architecture is still intact. Aberdare is home to a number of parks including Dare Valley Country Park which is all set in 500 acres of the beautiful Welsh countryside and has plenty to offer, from walks to outdoor activities to local pubs for some lovely home made food.
