Aberfan

Reiseguide

#Details!   .The Aberfan disaster was the catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip in the Welsh village of Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil, that killed 116 children and 28 adults on 21 October 1966. The collapse was caused by the build-up of water in the accumulated rock and shale tip, which suddenly slid downhill in the form of slurry.

In the cemetery side by side stands and overwhelming array of arches - each one a grave to those who passed that fateful day.

It is beautiful and peaceful - almost heavenly - worthy of a visit....I felt initially uncomfortable to take photos but the beauty of it overwhelmed me and will live with me forever.

Location is perfect! The room was a bit outdated, and could have been better cleaned. AC, but still quite hot. Breakfast good, but no vegetables. I forgot mye blouse in the room, did not realise before after leaving the city. Have tried to contact them, but no replies.....
