MenuMountain Ash, Glamorgan
Mountain Ash is a town in Glamorgan, within the Cynon Valley. The town takes its English name from the Mountain Ash Inn, which was opened around 1809 on the old Aberdare Road, the name chosen by the landlord from a nearby lone mountain ash tree. The inn became a local landmark and by the 1830s Mountain Ash was adopted as the name of the growing industrial village. The Welsh name, Aberpennar, was widely adopted in the early 20th century following a suggestion by poet Watkyn Wyn. The town is within the council area of Rhondda Cynon Taf.
