Abercraf
Abercraf is a village in Brecknockshire in the county of Powys, Wales and has a population of 696. It is located to the south of the county in the Upper Swansea Valley, 2.5 miles north-east of Ystradgynlais. It sits just outside of the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Fforest Fawr Geopark.
Abercraf has a history in coal and iron. Thomas Harper, the local coalowner, established a small ironworks in 1824. The British Iron Company bought the works in 1825 for £19,541 and leased minerals on the nearby mountain, Cribarth. It was unsuccessful and it stopped production in 1826 when they realised that costs were exceeding the retail price.
The village has a range of amenities, including pubs, a rugby union club, a primary school and a fire station. It also has a Miners' Welfare Hall, keeping the tradition of its coal mining past.
Abercraf sits between the slopes of the small mountain Cribarth, which is well-known for its 'Sleeping Giant' outline. The Giant is formed from a combination of the natural topography of the mountain and unused limestone quarries.
