MenuRhymney, Monmouthshire
Rhymney is a town in north-west of Monmouthshire. The town lies in the upper part of the Rhymney valley, on the eastern (Monmouthshire) side of the river. The town was founded with the establishment of the Union ironworks in 1801. The celebrated Welsh poet, Idris Davies (1905–1953), was born in Rhymney. Pete Seeger adapted part of Davies' Gwalia Deserta into the well known folk song "The Bells of Rhymney". The point where Monmouthshire, Glamorgan and Brecknockshire meet is just north of the town where the Nant-Melyn stream joins the Rhymney River. The town is within the council area of Caerphilly.
